About Valentina
Valentina Mengarelli is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with a BACP credential and five years of professional experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, low self-worth, sleeping problems and depression. Valentina uses a respectful, gentle approach and adapts conversations to each person's situation. She works in English, Spanish and Italian and accepts international clients.
Valentina focuses on practical change. She listens first, then helps people map small steps they can try between sessions. Sessions often cover coping with life changes, relationship and family issues, and challenges such as addiction, anger or career stress. She also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy concerns and parenting strains.
Her work draws on client-centred principles, which put the person’s voice at the heart of the process. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with stress, sleep and emotional regulation. These approaches are explained in simple terms and adapted to what feels useful for each person.
Valentina aims to tailor the conversation and plan to what matters to the individual. She speaks plainly about goals and checks in on progress as therapy continues. She describes the first step as a shared process where the client and counsellor decide what to focus on together.
People seeking help are encouraged to consider both short-term coping strategies and longer-term changes. Valentina emphasises practical tools alongside exploring patterns such as attachment, control or avoidance that may affect day-to-day life. Her style is calm, supportive and goal-minded.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation is shaped around what matters most to the person. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions, which can be useful for issues like low self esteem, relationship problems and life transitions.Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple grounding and awareness practices to reduce stress and improve sleep. These are short exercises that can be practised between sessions to help with anxiety and emotional reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Valentina will discuss different ways of working and decide together with the person which methods fit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a multilingual counsellor from another country, which can be helpful for people who prefer English, Spanish or Italian.
