About Valentina
Valentina Mengarelli is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She also supports those coping with addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and intimacy-related issues.
Her way of working is conversational and client-centred. Sessions focus on what the person brings day to day. Valentina listens for what matters most and helps people name priorities and small steps forward.
Mindfulness forms part of her approach. She uses straightforward practices to help reduce overthinking and to bring attention back to the present. These tools are offered alongside discussion about thoughts and feelings rather than as a separate programme.
She has experience with a wide range of related concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, avoidant personality patterns, body image and caregiver stress. Valentina also addresses practical problems such as work stress, communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, and anger.
Sessions are available in English, Spanish and Italian. International clients can be seen. Prospective clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Valentina works with Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that suit remote sessions. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation starts from the person’s own concerns and goals. The therapist listens, reflects and helps the client find their own solutions, which can be done effectively over video or audio. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce rumination and manage anxious moments; these practices are short, easy to guide remotely and can be practised between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Valentina will discuss the options with the client and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as the sessions progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use language preference, such as English, Spanish or Italian, without geographic limits. Registered or accredited professionals can work with clients across borders, but check time zones and scheduling when arranging appointments.
