About Valentina
Valentina Mengarelli is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential. Valentina focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and low mood, and she speaks English, Spanish and Italian.
She aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can talk openly about what’s troubling them. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs, so conversations and goals will be different from one person to the next.
Background and approach
Valentina emphasises practical steps alongside reflective work to help people manage day-to-day difficulties. Valentina uses client-centred principles that put the person’s lived experience at the centre of sessions. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help with stress, sleep problems and grounding during tense moments.
These approaches are used to support issues such as self-esteem, motivation, and coping with life changes. Her experience includes work with people facing trauma, relationship problems, addictions and anger, as well as challenges linked to parenting, career transitions and family stress. She also supports people dealing with attachment concerns, abandonment, body image and blended family issues.
Valentina offers sessions in multiple formats, including video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. International clients can be seen, and the subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How Valentina’s approaches work online
Valentina uses client-centred counselling to keep the focus on each person’s own experience. That means the conversation and goals come from what matters to the client, and the counsellor reflects and helps guide those priorities. This approach suits people who want to feel heard and make choices at their own pace.She also uses mindfulness therapy, which teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve sleep. Mindfulness can help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and calm the body during moments of anxiety or anger.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Valentina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and she will adapt techniques as progress is made. This collaborative process helps shape practical steps and therapy goals.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and preferences. Video calls are good for a more face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when a quieter audio-only check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep regular contact between sessions when needed.
