Alejandra Danta

Alejandra Danta is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma, intimacy concerns and anger. She speaks English and Spanish and works from the United Kingdom. She aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can feel heard and begin to make changes that matter to them.

Alejandra combines tools from several approaches so sessions can match what a person needs. She uses therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-based work to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is also part of her toolkit for addressing trauma memories.

In practice she keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. Conversations focus on what is happening now, and on small, practical steps clients can try between meetings. She pays attention to communication patterns and emotional triggers in relationships while supporting people to regain a sense of control after difficult experiences.

Her listed credential is BACP, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Alejandra has three years of experience working in clinical settings and with people affected by substance dependence and grief.

People who choose her can expect a warm, person-centred approach with practical techniques added when useful. She invites clients to set goals together and to review progress as therapy continues.

How this therapist uses different approaches online

Alejandra commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside practical, person-centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and to focus on actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and helps people understand and change ways of relating that cause distress.

She also uses elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing for specific issues such as mood patterns and traumatic memories. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours so people can try small experiments and build helpful habits. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of troubling memories by processing them in a structured way.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and will adapt techniques as the relationship develops. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus more on values and action, relationship patterns, practical skill-building or trauma processing.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm available session options before booking as formats are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time so people can attend from wherever they are based.
