Your Path to Wellbeing, Designed by You
I'm Alexsandro Amaral
a registered UK counsellor here to help you find clarity and forge a path forward. My approach ensures your journey is effective, empowering, and genuinely accessible.
My
Story
My path to becoming a counsellor is deeply personal.
After decades in corporate and family office roles across Europe and Middle East, I experienced burnout, an identity crisis, and profound loss. Navigating these struggles—including workaholism, addictions, and the loss of my cultural identity—taught me the power of resilience and the importance of empathy.
Now, it's my privilege to use my skills and experience to support others as they navigate their own paths toward healing and self-discovery.

"Alexsandro is a brilliant therapist. In the short space if time we have been chatting he's already helped me understand things about me that have helped me understand what I'm going through. I strongly believe with more time he can help me overcome my troubles."
Miguel, BCN
"La terapia con Alexsandro me ha ayudado a conectar más profundamente con mis emociones y a desarrollar herramientas para procesarlas con mayor facilidad. Estoy aprendiendo a aceptarme tal como soy y a ser menos duro conmigo mismo. Como resultado, mis interacciones diarias fluyen con más naturalidad y ya no sobrepienso tanto antes de expresarme. Un servicio altamente recomendado!"

"Alexsandro has been very professional, kind, and approachable throughout the entire process. I felt heard and supported in every session, and I really value the follow-up he did even when we didn't have scheduled sessions. His way of working conveys confidence and empathy. I highly recommend his therapeutic support."
Angus, UK
"To be completely honest, I feel like these sessions have been a really great help for me, and i've got much more out of them than I expected, but I feel like I've achieved most of what I set out to do with them. I'm feeling much more like myself and have a plan and goals for the future. Thanks for all your guidance and conversations. I've learnt a lot about myself but I feel like I am ready to take a break from therapy for a while. You've been excellent, thank you!"
