About me

I’m Valentina, an Integrative Counsellor and registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) 

My work is relational, trauma-informed, and rooted in the belief that healing unfolds through presence, curiosity, and connection. I support individuals and couples to navigate anxiety, relational challenges, identity struggles, and the lingering impact of trauma, helping them move toward greater authenticity and self-trust. 

My approach integrates Psychodynamic, Somatic, and Humanistic perspectives, alongside mindfulness and Polyvagal-Informed understanding. Also, I am a certified Somatic Psychedelics Facilitator. 

(The use of psychedelic substances is currently illegal in the UK. Therefore, I don’t take requests for illegal psychedelic assisted work. Instead, I offer preparation and integration, supporting people to understand and make meaning of their experiences in a safe, grounded way and for harm reduction purposes.)

I strive to create a space where you can meet yourself fully, in your own time and language, without pressure to fix or perform. Together, we can make sense of what feels tangled and support you in finding your own rhythm toward healing and wholeness.

Whether our connection is through face-to-face sessions or online encounters, rest assured that you'll always find a secure, non-judgmental, and confidential space to delve into your personal concerns. Your trust in me is a responsibility I take seriously, and I am committed to upholding the highest ethical standards. My approach is one of warmth, compassion, and steadfast support, creating a nurturing environment in which you can navigate the complexities of your thoughts and emotions.

My ultimate goal is to nurture a therapeutic relationship founded on trust, enabling you to freely explore your innermost thoughts and feelings. Together, we will work towards your personal goals, renew your self-trust, cultivate newfound confidence, and initiate meaningful changes. As we embark on this journey of self-discovery and growth, you will find the inner strength and courage to lead a life that is both deeply satisfying and profoundly meaningful.

I have experience working with individuals all over the world, including a substantial number of secondary school, sixth form and university students. I am bilingual so I also offer sessions in Spanish too. Additionally, I have collaborated with CAMHs, receiving referrals from fellow counsellors, and I am dedicated to providing support to adult individuals aged 16 and above, including university students.


"A further sign of health is that we don’t become undone by fear and trembling, but we take it as a message that it’s time to stop struggling and look directly at what’s threatening us."
