About Valentina
Valentina Mengarelli is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing relationship and parenting concerns, career stress, anger, and recovery from trauma and abuse.
Valentina uses straightforward conversation to help people identify what is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning. She listens and adjusts how she works to the person in front of her, rather than following a single script. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps alongside exploring patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her approach draws on client-centred therapy, which keeps the person’s priorities at the centre of each session. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help with stress, sleep problems and moments of intense emotion. These methods are aimed at helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them.
Valentina can work in English, Spanish and Italian. She accepts clients from outside the UK. Information about session formats should be confirmed before booking as the available options can change. Costs vary by location and sessions operate via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session scheduled. The initial steps are simple and practical, designed to get you talking about the problems you want to change without pressure.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in the room. Online sessions with this method start by exploring your immediate concerns and priorities, and the counsellor shapes each session around those goals. This helps when problems are practical - such as work stress, sleep disruption or trouble managing anger.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, body sensations and emotions without reacting automatically. In an online setting she can guide short exercises for calming the body, improving sleep routines and reducing stress responses that lead to outbursts of anger.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with you and decide together which techniques fit your needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative planning can be adjusted as you go along.
Confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can help fit sessions into a busy life by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins and offering flexibility around work and family schedules. These practical benefits make it easier to keep therapy part of an everyday routine.
