Valentina Mengarelli

Valentina Mengarelli is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of professional experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or sleeping problems. She offers a calm, respectful space and aims to tailor conversations to each person's situation.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what someone is facing now and on small steps they can try between meetings. She uses client-centred listening to understand what matters most to the person in front of her, and draws on mindfulness practices to help with concentration and emotional regulation.

Valentina works with a wide range of life issues. These include coping with life changes, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career stress, addiction-related hurts, and recovery from trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and difficulties around communication and commitment.

She communicates in English, Spanish and Italian, and accepts clients based in and outside the United Kingdom. Fees vary depending on location and are organised through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm session formats directly when you book to make sure they match your needs.

To begin, select the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Valentina aims to work collaboratively and help people build clearer choices and steadier routines.

How Valentina’s approaches fit into online therapy

Valentina works from client-centred principles that put the person's experience at the core. That means she listens closely and adapts the pace and topics to what the client says is most pressing. This approach helps with stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem and adjusting to life changes.

She also uses mindfulness therapy, which involves simple practices to build awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations. Mindfulness can be useful for reducing worry, easing sleeping problems, and creating steadier responses to stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust what they focus on as progress is made. That collaborative process helps decide whether more listening-based work or added mindfulness practice feels most helpful.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and keeping appointments when travel is difficult. Confirm the specific session options when you book, as formats are not listed here. Many people find online work makes it easier to keep continuity and to practise skills between meetings.
