About Valentina
Valentina Mengarelli is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, and she works in English, Spanish and Italian. Valentina aims to make the first contact straightforward and calm for people who feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start.
She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. She also supports those managing relationship concerns, parenting strain, anger, addictions and the impact of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Valentina pays attention to how life transitions affect daily coping and confidence. Valentina uses client-centred conversations to create a space where people feel heard. She adapts the pace and focus to each person’s needs and preferences.
Mindfulness techniques are offered when helpful to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day focus. Her style is respectful and direct. Sessions involve practical talking, noticing patterns, and trying out small changes between meetings.
Valentina aims to help clients build clearer choices and stronger routines that reduce stress and improve sleep. People often come with questions about self-esteem, communication problems, commitment worries, or how to move on after a separation. Valentina supports practical planning around career moves, caregiving stress and blended family dynamics as well as deeper work around attachment and abandonment.
She accepts international clients and offers a range of session formats to suit different schedules. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and then choose a time that fits their routine.

Approaches Valentina lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also uses mindfulness therapy to help reduce reactivity and improve attention to the present moment. Mindfulness exercises can be simple breathing or noticing practices useful for anxiety, sleep problems and emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Valentina will discuss what feels most useful, try methods together, and adjust the way they work as needs and goals change. The aim is to find practical steps that fit the person’s life and priorities.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you use face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or quick check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity when schedules or time zones change.
