About Alejandra

Alejandra Danta is a counsellor who aims to help people facing relationship strain, addictions, trauma and intimacy concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and works from a client-centred stance. Alejandra is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and practises in the United Kingdom.

Alejandra uses a blend of therapies so sessions match each person's needs. She listens first, then helps clients name what matters and set practical steps. Conversations focus on patterns that keep problems repeating and on building small, manageable changes people can try between meetings.

Her work covers a wide range of issues including anger, communication problems, commitment worries and attachment-related difficulties. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care topics and other life stressors like chronic illness and caregiving strain.

Sessions can include approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing for traumatic memories, and acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and move forward. Alejandra aims to create an empathetic space where people feel heard and understood.

With three years' experience, she frames therapy as a collaborative process. People who choose to work with her can expect practical strategies and calm, steady guidance while they work through the issues that brought them to therapy.

How Alejandra uses therapeutic approaches online

Alejandra often draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, addictions and communication problems by breaking difficulties into manageable steps.

She also uses eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing, a method that can help reduce the intensity of distressing memories. EMDR sessions focus on specific traumatic memories and aim to process those memories so they feel less overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alejandra will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy with her, please confirm the session formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques like CBT and EMDR to work well over remote sessions, and Alejandra will explain how each method translates to the online setting during the first meetings.
