About Vania
Vania Piludu helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She supports those dealing with anger, low self-esteem, grief and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Vania also works with career strain, parenting challenges, sleeping or eating difficulties, and complex conditions such as bipolar and compassion fatigue.
Vania creates a calm, welcoming space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgement. She encourages small, practical steps and clear goals so progress feels achievable.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the person and on building skills that can be used day to day. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods to match different needs. She commonly uses tools from cognitive behavioural work to spot patterns and from acceptance-based approaches to help people live in line with their values.
Attachment-focused ideas are used when relationships and early experiences shape current difficulties. Vania brings over 21 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. Her background includes supporting people through major life changes, chronic health issues, caregiving stress and bereavement.
She tailors her approach to each person’s history and current situation. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and can be arranged online. The first meetings usually focus on building trust, understanding what matters to the person, and agreeing clear, manageable steps to work towards.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. Sessions use clear exercises and practical tools to change unhelpful patterns, and this approach is often useful for stress, sleeping or eating problems and mood difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to the person’s situation, goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit. They will check in regularly and adapt the plan if something is not helping, so the process stays collaborative.
Online therapy offers different ways to connect that fit modern life. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation and use visual cues. Phone sessions work well when internet quality or bandwidth is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins into a busy day or to write things out between sessions. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to attend for people with varied schedules and needs.
