About Alessandra
Alessandra Samson is a BACP-registered counsellor who focuses on helping people who feel stretched thin by life. She works with issues like stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. Alessandra aims to create a calm space where someone can begin to notice what they truly want.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical so people can make small changes that feel manageable. Alessandra sees how habit and early coping patterns shape adult behaviour.
Background and approach
She helps people understand why they say yes when they mean no, or why they rehearse conversations but avoid them. Together they look at patterns around guilt, resentment and self-abandonment, and how those patterns affect everyday life at work and at home. Her approach is conversational and client-centred.
That means the conversation follows the person’s needs, not a fixed script. She also draws on solution-focused methods to set clear, small goals between sessions. This mix supports both deeper reflection and practical steps forward.
Alessandra offers short or longer-term work, paced to the person’s comfort. Sessions can include exploring boundaries, shifting unhelpful habits, and rebuilding a sense of purpose. She describes therapy as a joint process of making sense and trying different things.
She practises in the United Kingdom and works in English. Alessandra has three years of counselling experience and holds the BACP credential. Her sessions are available in several online formats for convenience.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical steps that make a difference day to day. Sessions aim to identify small, achievable goals and notice any changes that follow. This approach suits people who want concrete ways to manage stress, low mood or relationship patterns.
Deciding on an approach is part of the work. Alessandra will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process helps match the pace and focus to what feels right.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversations, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when camera time is difficult, and live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins or days when someone prefers writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
