About Valentina
Valentina Mengarelli is a UK-based counsellor who has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem and depression. Valentina aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion and to tailor conversations to each person’s needs.
Her approach centres on listening and building a trusting working relationship. She uses client-centred therapy to help people feel heard and understood, and mindfulness techniques to bring attention back to the present moment. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the person in front of her.
Valentina commonly helps people navigate life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting pressures, and work-related stress. She also works with concerns such as addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, sleep difficulties and codependency. Where needed she addresses related areas like attachment worries, communication problems and feelings of abandonment.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical steps as well as reflective conversation. That might include trying mindful breathing, noticing unhelpful patterns, or testing small changes between meetings. The aim is to build coping skills while also making sense of what is driving distress.
Valentina offers therapy in English, Spanish and Italian. She accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely and follows the concerns the person brings, helping them to feel heard and to find their own solutions. This approach can be useful for depression, low self-esteem, relationship worries and codependency concerns.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness practices such as guided breathing and noticing thoughts without judgement. These exercises can help reduce anxiety, ease sleep difficulties and create a calmer response to stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Valentina works collaboratively to identify what feels most helpful, and may combine listening, practical exercises and mindfulness based on the person’s goals and preferences. She will check in and adjust the focus as needs change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not feasible. It can also let people work with a therapist who speaks English, Spanish or Italian even when they are located elsewhere.
