Valentina Mengarelli , BACP

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 or depression. Valentina works with concerns such as low self-esteem, sleep problems, motivation struggles and coping with life changes.

Clients can expect a respectful and non-judgemental atmosphere. Valentina says she tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. She uses straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel manageable and practical.

Her background includes work across a range of common and complex concerns. These include relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related matters, addiction and anger. She also supports people facing separation, abandonment or caregiving stress.

Valentina draws on client-centred methods and mindfulness approaches during sessions. That means she focuses on the person’s experience and helps build awareness and calm through simple present-moment practices. She uses these methods to help people manage difficult feelings and build coping skills.

Sessions are offered in English, Spanish and Italian. Valentina works with people in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. If someone prefers flexible contact, she offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then an appointment is scheduled. Sessions are delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Valentina’s Approaches Work Online

Valentina uses client-centred methods which focus on the person's experience in the moment. This approach involves listening closely, reflecting what the person says, and helping them find their own solutions. It is useful for callers who need a supportive space to talk through feelings and make decisions.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices might include short breathing exercises, grounding techniques and noticing thoughts without judgement. These techniques can help with anxiety, sleep difficulties and managing strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most practical. They will try different ways of working and adjust based on what helps the person make steady progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can suit brief check-ins and messaging supports longer ongoing contact without scheduled calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments.
