Erika Colussi Bellmont , BACP

Erika Colussi Bellmont is a counsellor who supports people with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety. She also helps with addictions, grief, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and challenges tied to identity and LGBT concerns. Erika works in English and Spanish and brings a calm, relational style to sessions.

Erika follows the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, standards and brings an integrative outlook to her work. That means she draws on different therapeutic ideas and chooses what feels most helpful for each person. She focuses on building trust and understanding how past experiences shape present feelings.

Her practice leans on attachment-based thinking alongside client-centred and psychodynamic ideas. In practical terms she helps people notice patterns, make sense of emotions, and try new ways of relating. Sessions often include reflection, talking through memories, and simple coping suggestions to manage strong feelings.

Erika has around three years of experience and has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Much of her work has been with clients who face language or cultural barriers to getting help, so she pays close attention to each person’s values and worldview.

She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users select Start Therapy, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How attachment and person-centred ideas work online

Erika draws on attachment-based approaches that look at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people understand closeness, trust and fear of abandonment. This approach can be useful for relationship worries, intimacy concerns and long-standing attachment difficulties.

She also uses client-centred methods which focus on listening without judgement, reflecting what the person brings and supporting their own pace of change. That way the person leads the conversation and the counsellor offers empathy and clear feedback.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Erika works collaboratively to decide what feels most helpful based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She may blend approaches over time so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and face-to-face conversation, phone can be quicker and needs less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options help fit therapy around work, family or travel and make consistent contact more achievable for busy lives.
