About Alessandra
Alessandra Samson is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who feel drained by constant people-pleasing, anxiety, or long-term overwhelm. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth.
Alessandra aims to help clients reconnect with what they want and need. Alessandra listens without judgement and helps people make sense of patterns that have kept them stuck. She often starts by mapping routines and reactions that were once useful but now cause exhaustion or resentment.
Background and approach
From there she works with clients on small, manageable changes that reduce stress and rebuild self-respect. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to create a calm space where a person’s own priorities guide the work. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify clear steps and short-term goals when those are helpful.
These approaches are chosen to fit each person rather than to follow a fixed script. Alessandra helps people facing a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and career stress. She also supports those dealing with relationship problems, self-esteem struggles, and compassion fatigue.
Additional interests include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, and coping with separation. Sessions can be adapted to suit different rhythms of life, from shorter bursts of support to longer-term work. Alessandra aims to work at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of each person’s limits and goals.

Approaches Alessandra lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal-directed. It emphasises small, practical steps and the changes someone can try between sessions. This approach can help when someone wants quick strategies for managing stress, improving communication, or getting unstuck from repeating patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Alessandra will discuss options and decide together with each person what feels most useful based on their needs, goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people speak face-to-face when visual cues help a session. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins and for fitting therapy around busy days. These formats make it simpler to maintain continuity of care when life is hectic or travel is difficult.
