About Dina
Dina Villanueva is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. She also helps with coping through life changes and everyday pressures. Her manner is warm and caring, and she aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.
Dina listens without judgement and works at a pace chosen by each person. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, with practical steps to manage symptoms and build resilience.
Background and approach
She emphasises the therapeutic relationship as the core of her work. Her approach is person-centred and relational, so clients are treated as whole people rather than a list of problems. She sometimes brings in solution-focused ideas to set clear goals and use small, achievable changes.
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to link current patterns to past experiences when that helps make sense of feelings. Dina has five years' experience working in mental health settings. Three of those years have been spent counselling adults and young people.
She holds BACP registration, which she uses as part of her professional practice. She offers flexible ways of meeting, adapting to practical needs such as shorter check-ins or different session formats. Dina aims to be a steady presence while clients work through change and build new coping skills.
Approaches and online support for anxiety and life stress
Dina commonly works in a person-centred way, which means sessions focus on the person's concerns and priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what to work on and at what pace.She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and identify small practical steps forward. This can be useful for reducing anxiety, managing day-to-day stress and improving communication. When helpful, she draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences influence current feelings and relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Dina will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit the client's needs, goals and preferences. She aims to build a working plan together and adjust it as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face meetings when that helps connection, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity between sessions.
