About Erika
Counsellor Erika Colussi Bellmont is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and supports people with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety, among other concerns.
Erika speaks English and Spanish and has experience working with people from varied cultural backgrounds. She has worked in an intercultural therapy centre where barriers such as language and culture made accessing help harder for some clients.
Her practice uses a mix of approaches with a clear influence from attachment-based ideas. Sessions focus on understanding emotions and patterns that affect current life. She pays attention to how past relationships shape present difficulties.
In sessions she listens and reflects rather than giving direct advice. She aims to help people see their problems from different angles and to learn practical ways to cope with difficult feelings and situations.
Erika describes her work as relational and collaborative. She helps clients bring unconscious processes into awareness and build resilience over time. People who want to explore their history and current relationships may find this a useful way to work.
If you prefer to work in Spanish or English, or need someone familiar with cultural barriers to care, Erika can offer counselling framed by attachment, client-centred and psychodynamic ideas. To book she asks people to follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps.
How her approaches shape online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and closeness to others. It helps with issues such as trust, intimacy, abandonment concerns and repeating relationship patterns.Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in the room. The counsellor listens, reflects and follows the client’s pace to help them make sense of their experience and build confidence in their own answers.
Psychodynamic ideas examine how unconscious thoughts and early experiences influence present behaviour. This can help when someone wants to understand deeper patterns behind anxiety, low mood or difficult relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she will collaborate with the client to decide how to proceed.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. If you plan to work with her from outside the UK, confirm the session options and times before booking. The site’s matching process and scheduling tools guide you through arranging the first appointment.
