About Valentina

Valentina Mengarelli helps people address stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, self-esteem and depression using a client-centred way of working and mindfulness practices. She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Valentina uses a talking-led approach that places the person's experience at the centre. Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters and slowly building practical ways to cope day to day. Mindfulness skills are used to help with tension, racing thoughts and problems with sleep.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns. These include relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting stresses, addictions and managing life changes such as divorce or separation. She also works with trauma and abuse, anger, career worries and other areas like body image, attachment and codependency.

Valentina speaks English, Spanish and Italian, which can help when clients prefer another language for parts of a session. She accepts international clients and offers sessions to people living in different countries while practising from the UK.

Sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location. To get started, a user is asked to select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her counselling approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and helps the person clarify what matters and what changes they want to make. This approach is useful for low mood, self-esteem issues and relationship concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and manage stress. It can help with anxiety, sleep problems and moments of intense emotion by offering short exercises to practise between sessions.

Deciding on the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt the way they work together. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed package.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling into a busy week and keeping regular contact when travel is difficult. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can still allow paced conversations, mindfulness practice and planning for coping strategies that fit everyday life.
