About Alexandra
Alexandra (Sasha) King is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has over 11 years of professional experience helping people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about life changes. Sasha focuses on practical, down-to-earth support so people can make small shifts that matter.
Her approach is conversational and client-centred. Sessions give people space to talk about worries without fear of judgement. Sasha helps clients identify what matters to them and tries to keep work focused on achievable steps between sessions.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns, including addictions, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, career uncertainty and midlife changes. Sasha listens for patterns such as attachment issues, codependency or communication problems and brings these into the work when helpful.
Sasha uses a blend of approaches to suit the person in front of her. That can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tackle unhelpful thinking, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns. She aims to be practical, warm and straightforward during sessions.
Conversations can include exploring coping strategies, setting small goals and practising different ways of relating to difficult emotions. People who choose her often want thoughtful, steady support while they work through life transitions and find new direction.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and learn small, practical ways to live in line with those values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and practising new ways of responding. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people try different ways of relating in present relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor the mix of methods to the person's goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process makes sure the plan fits the individual rather than applying a single technique to everyone.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or removing the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online help that focuses on practical coping, values-based planning and changing unhelpful thinking, so people can keep making progress while juggling home and work commitments.
