About Alejandra

Alejandra Danta is a counsellor who focuses on men's wellbeing and related personal concerns. She works with people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma and intimacy issues, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and she carries the BACP credential, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Alejandra draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person she meets. She uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Her background includes three years of clinical practice. That time has included work with addiction-related problems and trauma processing approaches. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the client sets the priorities and pace.

In sessions she aims for straightforward conversation and practical steps. This can mean talking through relationship patterns, developing coping strategies for anger or cravings, or working on how past hurts affect present trust and intimacy.

Alejandra asks people to shape therapy around their goals. She explains options and helps decide which techniques might suit the issue at hand. If you are considering counselling, she encourages completing the short intake form so you can be matched and arrange a first appointment.

How Alejandra’s approaches translate to online work

Alejandra uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. This approach can help with issues like addiction, anger and life transitions by building clearer goals and small behaviour changes.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationship patterns affect current trust and intimacy. This helps when the concern involves communication, commitment or problems repeating from past relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alejandra will discuss options and decide together which techniques suit each person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made.

The original biography did not specify session formats, so please confirm which online or in-person options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt therapeutic tools to remote sessions to keep the focus on practical skills, emotional processing and real-life problem solving.
