Erika Colussi Bellmont, BACP

Erika Colussi Bellmont is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and the strain of living with health challenges. She works in English and Spanish and aims to make talking about hard things as straightforward as possible. Erika is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and follows their professional standards.

Erika uses an integrative style that draws on different ways of working to meet each person's needs. She focuses on understanding current feelings and the patterns that sit under them. Together with clients she explores how past experiences shape present reactions and relationships.

Work in sessions is collaborative and relational. Erika listens without judgment and reflects what clients bring to help them see things differently. She offers practical suggestions to manage difficult emotions when that feels useful.

Her practice is informed by attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred and psychodynamic approaches. These help when people are coping with loss, identity questions, long-term stress or the emotional impact of illness and caregiving roles.

Erika has three years of professional experience and has supported people from varied cultural backgrounds. She aims to respect each person's values and to help them build greater resilience and clarity as they move forward.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Erika draws on attachment-based, client-centred and psychodynamic ways of working to support emotional and relational difficulties. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and can help people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears or intimacy problems. Client-centred work means the counsellor follows the person’s pace, offering empathy and acceptance to help them talk through what matters to them. Psychodynamic ideas focus on bringing unconscious patterns into awareness so people can better understand repeated reactions in relationships and life challenges.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapy process. Erika works together with each client to pick methods that match their goals, personality and life situation. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and realistic for the person seeking support.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time and allowing people to access a therapist who speaks their language even if they live elsewhere. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to maintain regular contact and to test coping strategies between sessions while keeping therapy aligned with everyday life.
