About Alejandra
Alejandra Danta is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with addiction, relationship strain, trauma, intimacy concerns and anger to find clearer ways forward. Alejandra speaks English and Spanish and brings three years of professional experience to her work.
Alejandra uses a mix of approaches so each person gets what fits them best. She draws on Narrative ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work to address how values and relationships shape day-to-day choices. Sessions focus on practical steps and on noticing repeated patterns. Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk about painful experiences and to test new ways of relating.
Alejandra aims to help people name what matters and take manageable steps toward those aims. She has experience supporting people with a wide range of concerns, including abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image, communication problems and commitment worries. That breadth helps when problems overlap or feel complicated.
Alejandra welcomes people who want to explore trauma, addiction or difficult relationship dynamics. She works collaboratively, helping people make sense of patterns and rehearse different choices. If someone prefers Spanish, she can work in that language as well as English.

Online session options
How Alejandra’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It is useful for issues such as addiction, anxiety and patterns that keep getting in the way of daily life.Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their problems. It helps separate a person from their difficulties so they can imagine different ways to act and relate.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. It is often helpful when intimacy, trust or communication are at the centre of the concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alejandra will discuss options and try different methods collaboratively, matching techniques to each person’s goals and preferences. She will invite feedback and adjust the plan as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is suited to in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping continuity of care with a registered professional.
