About Valentina
Valentina Mengarelli is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has five years of professional experience and offers help for concerns such as stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem and depression. Valentina works in English, Spanish and Italian and accepts international clients.
She aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, so conversations and practical steps are tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Background and approach
The tone in sessions is calm and non-judgemental, and she focuses on what matters to the individual. Valentina uses client-centred approaches that put the person's experience at the heart of therapy. She also includes mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and become more grounded in everyday life.
Together these approaches support emotional regulation, clearer thinking and better sleep habits. Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns beyond mood, including relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, addiction-related issues and anger. She also addresses themes such as attachment, abandonment and body image when these come up in therapy.
People who choose Valentina often want practical ways to cope as well as space to talk things through. She encourages small, manageable steps and regular reflection so progress can be noticed over time.

Approaches Valentina lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. That may mean starting with listening and reflection, then adding practical mindfulness exercises or brief coping strategies as agreed together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones, while letting the therapist and client choose the most useful format for their work together.
