About Dina

Dina Villanueva works with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes, using a person-centred and relational approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience.

Dina listens to what is troubling a person and helps them make practical steps forward at a pace that suits them. She focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client and uses that connection to help people feel seen and understood. Sessions are described in straightforward terms and aim to be collaborative rather than directive.

She also draws on solution-focused ideas to help people spot small changes that make daily life easier. Dina may look at links between present feelings and past events using psychodynamic perspectives when that helps make sense of recurring patterns.

Dina has worked for five years in mental health services, including three years providing counselling to adults and young people. Her experience includes supporting people with abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation.

Sessions can address women's issues and the practical pressures that come with caring roles and long-term health conditions. She offers counselling in English and Danish and practises in the United Kingdom.

Dina asks people to choose topics they want to work on and to move at a pace they find manageable. People who want to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their needs.

How Dina uses evidence-based approaches in online counselling

Dina commonly uses person-centred work which focuses on listening, building a trusting relationship and helping people find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make their own choices about next steps.

She also draws on solution-focused ideas which look for small, practical changes that can improve day-to-day life; these techniques suit people who want concrete steps and goals. When useful, Dina refers to psychodynamic perspectives to consider how past experiences may show up in current patterns and relationships.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Dina will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and agree which techniques to try. The counsellor and client review progress and adjust the way they work as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caring responsibilities or travel, and can reduce time spent getting to an appointment. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed and avoid being on camera when someone prefers audio only.
