About Dina
Dina Villanueva helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She is straightforward and warm in her approach. Conversations are paced to the person's comfort.
Sessions aim to make everyday life feel more manageable. Dina brings five years of experience in mental health settings to her counselling. She has worked for three years directly with adults and young people.
Dina holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP in her credentials.
Background and approach
Her style is person-centred and relational. This means the relationship between counsellor and client is central, and people are treated as whole individuals rather than a list of symptoms. Dina listens without judgement and helps clients set the pace and topics for therapy.
She also draws on solution-focused ideas to set small, practical goals. At times she uses psychodynamic thinking to help link current feelings to past events or childhood patterns. These approaches are used as needed, not as a fixed programme.
Practical concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness or disability, attachment and abandonment worries, communication difficulties, guilt, shame and loneliness are part of her work. Dina also focuses on issues that often affect women, helping them find clearer ways forward. Sessions are available in English and Danish and are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit their timetable.

Focus areas and approaches
What Dina works with
Everything Dina lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Solution-focused work aims for small, practical steps and clear goals. It helps when someone wants fast, manageable changes like improved communication or coping strategies for stress.
Psychodynamic ideas can help link present feelings to past experiences and childhood patterns. This can be useful for understanding recurring relationship difficulties or long-standing emotional responses.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about options and adjust methods based on the client's goals, preferences and what comes up in sessions. That way the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are good for in-depth conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins or when someone needs regular short support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life, while still receiving consistent professional support from registered or accredited professionals.
