About Erika

Erika Colussi Bellmont is a counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of practice. She works in English and Spanish and supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, stress, low confidence, anger, addiction and eating concerns. Erika focuses on helping people understand what lies beneath their reactions and patterns.

She uses an integrative, relational approach that draws on attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions aim to bring unconscious patterns into awareness so clients can see how past experiences shape present responses. Erika listens and reflects, offering different perspectives rather than giving direct advice.

Her work often centres on exploring emotional responses and practical coping. She might suggest ways to manage difficult feelings or small strategies to try between sessions. The tone of sessions is collaborative - the client and counsellor decide together what feels useful.

Erika has experience in intercultural settings and supports people who face cultural or language barriers to getting help. She practises with attention to clients' values and cultural backgrounds and has worked with a range of life issues including identity concerns, grief, parenting strain, career stress and ADHD-related difficulties.

If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions operate through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches work for online sessions

Erika draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand why certain responses, such as anger or withdrawal, keep repeating. Client-centred work focuses on the client’s experience in the here and now and offers space to be heard without being directed. Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Erika will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where practical steps and deeper understanding are balanced according to what the client wants to achieve. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Many people find remote sessions save travel time and allow shorter check-ins during a break. Because formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the exact session options before booking so you know how sessions are arranged. Registered and accredited professionals can offer flexible ways to work together that suit everyday routines and commitments.
