About Alexandra
Alexandra (Sasha) King uses Motivational Interviewing alongside gentle, client-centred methods to help people find motivation for change. She blends practical tools with calm listening to support those facing addiction, low mood, anxiety and relationship difficulties. Sasha's approach is straightforward and encouraging, aimed at helping people take small, workable steps forward.
Sasha has worked in the UK for 11 years. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioural techniques to manage stress, sleep and eating difficulties. She also includes attachment-focused ideas when people want to understand patterns in close relationships or feel stuck after loss.
Sessions are conversational and paced to the person. Sasha aims to create a non-judgemental space where feelings and worries can be spoken about plainly. She supports people dealing with grief, parenting strains, career crossroads, and issues linked to ADHD and neurodiversity.
Her background includes work with people coping with domestic violence, substance use, and complex trauma. Sasha also helps with intimacy-related concerns, communication and commitment issues, and the emotional impact of divorce or separation. She explains tools clearly and helps people try them between sessions.
Sasha holds BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers sessions in English and Czech and works with clients across a range of life challenges. To start, clients are invited to describe their current concerns and what they hope to change.

How Sasha’s approaches translate to online counselling
Motivational Interviewing focuses on gentle conversation to draw out a person’s own reasons to change. It suits people who feel stuck or uncertain and prefer a supportive, non-pressured way to explore goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing long-term stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative task. Sasha works with each person to decide which methods feel most useful, adjusting the balance of practical tools and reflective work. She will check in regularly about what helps and what needs changing so the work matches the client's aims and pace.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also make it simpler to continue work after major life changes or during relocation. Registered professionals, including this counsellor, commonly adapt session length and focus to suit people juggling work, family and other commitments. -
