About Alexandra

Alexandra (Sasha) King is a counsellor and psychotherapist with BACP registration and 11 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm presence and straightforward support to people facing difficult life moments. Sasha listens without judgement and helps people take the first step toward change.

She uses several practical therapeutic approaches to help with things like addiction, anxiety, depression, grief and low self-esteem. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit into everyday life. Sasha explains options and works with each person to choose what feels most useful for them.

People contact her about relationship strains, parenting stress, intimacy issues and career uncertainty. She also supports those coping with trauma, abuse, eating and sleeping problems, and addiction to drugs or alcohol. Sasha has experience with neurodiversity concerns, including autism and attention differences.

Her style is warm and direct. Conversations explore what matters to the person and how to move toward it. Techniques include looking at thoughts and behaviours, building new habits, and strengthening close connections.

Approaches used online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people live according to their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, addiction and for finding direction after big life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. This approach can help with intimacy problems, attachment issues and relationship difficulties.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-directive relationship where the counsellor listens and reflects. It helps people who need space to understand themselves and make changes at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sasha will discuss options and help choose a route that fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She aims to make that choice together, adjusting methods as therapy progresses.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are set by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep continuity of care if life circumstances change, while focusing on practical steps, skills and relational patterns that matter in everyday life.
