About Valentina
Valentina Mengarelli is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and five years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and confidence issues. Valentina aims to offer a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to make small, manageable changes.
She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than using one set method. Sessions often centre on listening carefully, noticing patterns that cause distress, and trying simple steps to improve daily rhythms and coping. That practical, down-to-earth approach is suited to people who want straightforward strategies alongside supportive listening.
Valentina uses client-centred ways of working, which means she follows the person’s pace and priorities during sessions. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people become less caught up in stressful thoughts and to improve sleep and calmness.
Her background includes five years of work with people facing a wide range of concerns from relationship and family stress to trauma, addiction and issues with intimacy. She also supports people dealing with career pressures, parenting strains and anger management.
Sessions are offered in English, Spanish and Italian, and she accepts international clients. If someone wants to start, they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people identify what matters most to them. This approach is useful for people who want someone to hear their experience and help them set achievable goals.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and promote steadier sleep and calmer thinking. Short daily exercises and gentle guidance can make stressful moments easier to manage and may help with sleep routines and winding down.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Valentina will work with the person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family life or work, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work in English, Spanish or Italian for people who are not local.
