Alessandra Samson, BACP

Alessandra Samson trained and practises as a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom. She helps people who feel exhausted from carrying other people’s emotions and those who struggle to say no. Alessandra writes plainly and listens carefully to the small, everyday frustrations that add up to big stress.

She focuses on anxiety, stress and depression alongside relationship strain and self-esteem problems. Alessandra also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, career concerns and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems and the impact of guilt and shame.

Her sessions draw on client-centred methods that place the person’s experience at the heart of the work. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify practical steps and quick wins that feel manageable. Together these approaches help people clarify what they want and try new ways of handling difficult moments.

Alessandra offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules. Therapy can be short term to tackle a specific problem, or longer term to work through deeper patterns. Sessions are arranged online and scheduled around the client’s availability.

She speaks English and works with adults in the UK. Alessandra has three years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, cited as BACP. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and choose times that suit them.

Approaches that guide online work and practical support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's pace so they feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of their feelings and rebuild self-trust.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on spotting useful changes and building on small successes. It is useful for people who want practical steps to reduce stress, improve communication or work through a particular issue.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alessandra will discuss goals and preferences and together will decide which methods to use and how long to work on them. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging works for ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it simpler to schedule therapy around work, caregiving and daily life.
