About Vania
Vania Piludu is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with trauma, anger, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and she works with people both in the UK and internationally.
She aims to make the first step feel manageable and straightforward. Vania creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without fear of judgement.
Background and approach
She focuses on practical ways to reduce distress and build daily routines that feel sustainable. Vania combines several approaches to suit each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and ACT - Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - to help people build valued-directed habits.
Attachment-based ideas support work around relationships and patterns formed in early life. Across 21 years of experience she has helped people with grief, parenting strains, career transitions and long-term health issues. Her work also covers eating and sleeping problems, bipolar concerns, burnout and compassion fatigue.
Vania pays attention to how life events and past hurts continue to shape present behaviour. Her HCPC registration is noted as part of her professional standing in the UK. People who want to begin are guided through a short matching process and can choose video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging sessions.
The goal is steady progress at a comfortable pace.

Online support
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can be helpful for chronic worries, low mood and for building motivation when life feels stuck.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vania treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you decide which methods suit your goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility around busy lives. Video calls let you see facial cues and share materials, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and text-based or live chat sessions can be shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit regular work on mood, stress and relationships into everyday life.
