About Erika

Erika Colussi Bellmont is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, stress and issues around intimacy. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem struggles, addiction, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD and wider life changes. Erika works in English and Spanish and draws on different ways of working to meet each person’s needs.

Erika is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She follows their professional standards and ethics while working with clients. Her practice is shaped by attachment ideas and a focus on the relationships that matter in someone’s life.

In sessions she aims to bring hidden patterns into view. That can mean looking at past experiences and how they affect current feelings and choices. She uses an integrative style that adapts to what feels most useful for the person in front of her.

Erika describes her role as collaborative rather than directive. She will reflect what a person brings and offer different perspectives rather than giving direct advice. Practical coping ideas are offered when they may help manage difficult emotions or situations.

She has worked with people from varied cultural backgrounds and with language needs, including Spanish speakers. Much of her work has been in an intercultural setting where barriers to accessing help are recognised and addressed. Her aim is to support people as they find their own answers and build greater resilience.

Erika has three years of professional experience and focuses on helping people gain clarity, increase resilience and move forward with their emotional well-being.

How Erika’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current feelings. It can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and building more secure ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room, offering understanding and acceptance so someone can find their own path forward; it is useful for low self-esteem, stress and decisions about life changes. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring themes and unconscious patterns that influence current behaviour and mood, which can be helpful for long-standing relationship or identity concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika will discuss what feels most useful and adjust how she works based on your goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where you shape the focus and pace of therapy.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Many people find online sessions fit into busy lives more easily, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a break. Online work can make it simpler to meet with a therapist who speaks English or Spanish and who understands intercultural backgrounds. Discuss practical arrangements and preferences at the start so sessions fit into your everyday routine.
