Alexandra (Sasha) King, BACP

Alexandra (Sasha) King is a counsellor and psychotherapist with BACP registration and 11 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing difficult life changes and emotional strain. Sasha writes and listens plainly so clients can say what matters to them. Sasha focuses on addiction, relationship strain, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. She also helps with eating and sleeping difficulties, intimacy concerns and parenting pressures. Additional areas of attention include ADHD, attachment issues and the emotional effects of separation and divorce. Her approach is person-centred and practical. Sessions aim to make space for honest talk and to find small workable steps forward. Techniques draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help manage difficult thoughts and feelings in daily life. Sasha pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns, using attachment-based ideas to spot repeating cycles. She also brings existential questions into sessions when people are searching for meaning or direction. Sessions are offered in English and Czech. People meet her by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled to suit the client and therapist.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match a person's values. It can help when anxiety, depression or unhelpful habits get in the way of daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and reactions, which can be useful for people dealing with relationship stress, codependency or attachment issues. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre of sessions, offering a non-judgemental space where people can explore feelings and make their own choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sasha will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful in sessions, and will adapt methods collaboratively rather than imposing a single technique. Together the therapist and client decide which tools to try and how to pace the work.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be quicker check-ins and need less bandwidth; live chat or messaging can suit shorter updates or people who prefer to write. These options offer flexibility so therapy can match a person's life and needs.
