Valentina Mengarelli, BACP

Valentina Mengarelli is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, low self-esteem and depression. Valentina also supports those facing life changes, relationship tensions, parenting strains and anger-related concerns.

Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy. That means conversations focus on the person's concerns and experiences, rather than a therapist-led agenda. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them.

Sessions are conversational and practical. Valentina aims to help people identify patterns that fuel stress or anger, and to try out different ways of responding. She talks through coping strategies and small behaviour changes that can reduce repeated flare-ups and rumination.

She works in English, Spanish and Italian, which can be useful when language affects how someone describes their feelings. Valentina accepts international clients and adapts the pace and tone of sessions to suit each person.

Her background includes five years working directly with the issues listed above and additional focus on concerns such as attachment, codependency, caregiver stress, grief from separation or divorce, and domestic violence. People who want clear, steady guidance on managing temper, stress or relationship strain may find this approach helpful.
