About Alexandra

BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with 11 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. Alexandra (Sasha) King helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship problems and grief. She works with clients on self-esteem, parenting concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and life transitions.

Sasha uses practical talking therapy methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred and attachment-focused work. Sessions focus on what is happening now, how patterns began, and small changes that can reduce distress. She explains ideas plainly and checks in about what is useful for each person.

Typical sessions are conversational and goal-orientated. Sasha helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, build skills for managing stress, and make values-based choices. She also pays attention to relationship patterns and attachment history when those are part of the difficulty.

Her background includes work with addiction, trauma and abuse, domestic violence, and the challenges that come with caregiving or blended family life. Sasha also supports people dealing with emptiness, commitment issues, dissociation and co-morbidity of mental health concerns.

Sessions are offered in English and Czech. Sasha uses her clinical approaches to help people clarify what matters to them and to develop practical steps for change. To begin, readers should use the site matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, addiction and decisions about life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour and testing small experiments to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and offers ways to change interaction habits and feel more secure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sasha will discuss options and agree together which methods to try based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adapted as progress is reviewed.

Confirm current session formats before booking as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make sessions possible without travel. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, often use remote sessions to help people maintain continuity of care and to reduce logistical barriers to regular attendance.
