About Valentina

Valentina Mengarelli is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom and registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Valentina also helps with self-esteem, motivation and the practical pressures that come with life change.

Her work is straightforward and respectful. She listens first and adapts conversations to fit what each person needs.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, manageable steps rather than overwhelming plans. Valentina uses client-centred methods to prioritise the person's own goals. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to build calmer responses to stress and intrusive thoughts.

These approaches are used to help with issues such as trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction-related patterns, and parenting strain. People usually find that early sessions are about making a plan together and setting clear, short-term goals. Later work can include practising grounding and attention skills, talking through difficult memories, or rehearsing new communication habits.

She offers sessions in English, Spanish and Italian and accepts international clients. Therapy is delivered online by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own concerns at the centre. The counsellor offers active listening, reflection and acceptance so the client can clarify goals and feel heard. This approach is helpful for low self-esteem, relationship worries and navigating life changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood. These techniques can be practised during sessions and returned to between meetings to build steady routines and calmer responses to stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and together they will decide what feels most useful for the client's needs, goals and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is reviewed, keeping the client involved in each step.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter, more frequent contact for brief updates, reflections or coping prompts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work while travelling or living abroad.
