About Azora
Azora Guimarães is a counsellor who helps people dealing with trauma, relationship strain and sleep difficulties. She draws on a range of approaches to support everyday coping and to help people make small, steady changes. Azora works in English and offers work to people in the United Kingdom and beyond.
Azora uses clear, practical conversations to understand what is causing distress. She listens to how trauma, grief, eating concerns or anxiety show up day to day. Together with the person she builds coping strategies and realistic plans to manage symptoms like poor sleep or persistent worry.
Her background includes work supporting people affected by sexual assault, domestic abuse and childhood neglect. She has run workshops on identity and the impact of skin colour, and volunteers with Women’s Aid as a counsellor and phone buddy. These roles inform how she approaches conversations about safety, loss and recovery.
Azora also brings coaching and personal training experience into work on body image and eating concerns. She uses reflective exercises such as a 12-week booklet alongside talking therapy to encourage different habits around food and self-image.
Couples sometimes seek support to rebuild intimacy, navigate cultural differences or recover from painful events like miscarriage or traumatic birth. Azora draws on relational tools to help partners communicate, manage resentment and make decisions together.
She holds NCPS as a credential and has three years of professional experience. If someone is unsure whether her style will suit them, Azora encourages trying a session to see how the working relationship feels.
How Azora's approaches translate to online therapy
Azora often uses attachment-based ideas which focus on how relationships shape feelings and coping. This approach looks at patterns in relationships and helps people change how they connect with others, which can help with intimacy, trust and sleep problems linked to anxiety.She also draws on client-centred therapy, which puts the person's experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what she hears and follows the person's pace to build understanding and practical next steps.
Mindfulness is another strand she uses to support calmer thinking and better rest. Simple attention exercises and breathing practices can reduce rumination and make it easier to wind down before sleep.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Azora will work with each person to try methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
