I am Valentina, or Val, or simply V,
I am one of the people around whom you can just be!
I am here to create together a space where you can bring your whole self without judgement!
This is your space, where vulnerability is celebrated, where you can start welcoming yourself with empathy, curiosity, understanding and acceptance.
Let's walk together the labyrinth of your emotions and life experiences!
I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor, registered member of British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). This means I am committed to following BACP's ethical guidelines.
I like to keep an open heart and mind while interacting with all people who may come my way, so it is important that you feel accepted in a non-judgmental space in our sessions, where you can start exploring yourself and bring new perspectives to the dilemmas you may be experiencing.
When we bridge a space of empathy and curiosity, we can begin to build a different relationship with ourselves, understanding our boundaries and our wants & needs. When we purposefully create this space, we can then start to have more choices in how we live our lives.
People come to counselling & psychotherapy for various reasons, from anxiety & depression to low self esteem or perfectionism. Other people come for self-development, while some try to build a new sense of identity and navigate life without a loved one. Some of my clients started therapy to process deep and traumatic past experiences that have had their world shaken to the core, while others to learn how to adapt to new ways of living live following major life transitions.
No one should ever suffer in silence! Your journey in life is unique and deserves celebration!
I hope you will give yourself permission to be courageous in telling your story!
Some people feel overwhelmed by the pressures of maintaining a work/life balance
Others have experienced a recent breakup, job loss, bereavement that is causing distress and difficult emotions
Some people feel trapped by a past traumatic or upsetting experience and want support in processing it & moving forward
Other clients feel stuck repeating the same patterns and behaviours that serve everyone but them & struggle to prioritise themselves.
People find themselves behaving in ways that don't fit their values
Some clients are ready to build a new life, to find and welcome themselves with curiosity and empathy
