About Alexandra
Alexandra (Sasha) King is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 11 years of practice. She works with people who are facing anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and related life stressors. Sasha also lists support for LGBT concerns, parenting and sleep or eating problems.
Sasha focuses on helping people talk through difficult feelings and make sense of what they are living with. She uses practical conversations about thoughts, values and choices. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps rather than large, abstract goals.
Her background includes work with people managing grief and loss, clients dealing with substance and alcohol issues, and those navigating changes such as separation or career shifts. She also notes experience with attachment issues and neurodiversity including autism and Asperger syndrome.
Therapeutic approaches Sasha uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Existential Therapy. These approaches inform how she helps people with emotion regulation, unhelpful thinking patterns and relationship difficulties.
Sasha works in English and Czech. She asks people to begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session through the online options provided. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values while acknowledging difficult emotions. It can help when guilt or shame gets in the way of living the kind of life someone values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves looking at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and testing unhelpful thinking patterns to find alternatives that are more workable.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice can be reviewed and adjusted as sessions progress.
Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life - for example a shorter phone check-in can suit a busy day, or video sessions allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Registered or accredited professionals can use different formats to help people keep therapy practical and manageable within their routines.
