Alexandra (Sasha) King , BACP

Alexandra (Sasha) King uses a blend of practical therapies to help people facing life changes and emotional strain. She describes herself as a counsellor with 11 years of experience and holds BACP registration. Sasha speaks English and Czech and works with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and relationship concerns.

She emphasises a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Sessions aim to help clients clarify what matters to them and take small, achievable steps towards those values. The approach is plain and conversational, with ideas and techniques explained in everyday language.

Sasha draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and to build new coping skills. Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working guide how she listens and responds to relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also brings existential perspectives when people want to talk about meaning, purpose and major life choices.

Clients come for many reasons including parenting stress, eating or sleeping problems, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and difficulties around identity and intimacy. She also supports people dealing with career changes, anger, codependency and blended family challenges.

Practical options include talking through problems, practising new responses in session and setting small tasks between meetings. Sasha encourages people to move at their own pace and to choose the mix of approaches that fits their situation.

How therapy approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice tough thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then take small steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, addiction and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviours to see what helps; it is practical for mood problems, stress, sleep and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape trust and intimacy, which can help with relationship difficulties and attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques together to find what fits. Sessions often mix ideas from different models so the work can be tailored to your needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video suits deeper conversations and practising new ways of relating. Phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can work for shorter check-ins, brief reflections between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
