About Alexandra
Alexandra (Sasha) King is a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with 11 years of experience. She works with adults facing issues such as addictions, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and Czech and she supports people dealing with pregnancy and maternity concerns as well as cultural and multicultural issues.
Sasha uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try actions that match their values. She also uses client-centred and attachment-based ideas to understand how early connections shape current relationships and intimacy concerns.
People who come to her often want help with major life changes, career uncertainty, parenting stress, or patterns such as codependency and control issues. She also works with issues linked to trauma, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, and neurodiversity including autism and Asperger Syndrome. Sasha discusses sleep and eating concerns alongside emotion regulation and anger management.
In practical terms Sasha encourages straightforward conversation about what feels hard and what people want to change. Sessions tend to focus on small, manageable steps and on building skills for coping with stress, cravings, or intense emotions. She will also look at communication habits and commitment issues when those are getting in the way of relationships.
For people questioning their next steps in life, Sasha offers grounded exploration of values, meaning, and choices. She asks about everyday routines and pressures and helps plan realistic shifts that fit work, family and health demands.
Approaches to work and how online sessions are used
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and then choose actions that reflect what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, addictions and for people questioning life purpose. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies for mood, stress and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current intimacy, communication and trust issues.Finding the best fit is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to discuss which approach makes sense for a person's goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements from different methods and adjusting the focus as needs change.
Please confirm which online session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Generally, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and health commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and offer options when someone prefers not to use video. Registered or accredited professionals adapt exercises, exposure tasks and behavioural work so people can practise skills between meetings and apply them in everyday life.
