About Erika

Erika Colussi Bellmont is a counsellor who supports people dealing with relationship problems, anger, anxiety, depression and stress. She also helps with self-esteem, intimacy concerns, addictions, grief and life transitions. Erika works in English and Spanish and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.

Erika is a BACP member - that means she follows the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy's ethical standards. She uses an integrative style, choosing ways of working that fit each person rather than a single fixed method. Sessions focus on what the person brings and on practical steps for coping when needed.

Her practice draws strongly on attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred and psychodynamic approaches. That means paying attention to how past relationships shape current feelings and patterns. The work often looks at how unconscious patterns affect choices and relationships, and then finds clearer ways forward.

Erika has three years' experience and has worked with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. She currently contributes to an intercultural therapy centre, helping those who face language or cultural barriers to accessing help. This experience influences how she notices differences in values and communication.

In sessions she aims to be non-judgemental and collaborative. She reflects back what clients bring and offers new perspectives and practical coping ideas rather than direct advice. The goal is greater clarity, resilience and movement towards the life someone wants.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy sees current difficulties as often rooted in past relationship patterns. It pays attention to how early connections shape trust, closeness and reactions to stress, and can help when anger or intimacy causes trouble. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience in the moment, offering space to be heard and understood without judgement; this can help people build self-esteem and make choices that fit their values. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at unconscious patterns that influence feelings and behaviour, helping to bring those patterns into awareness so they can change.

Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That collaborative conversation helps decide whether to emphasise attachment work, client-centred listening, psychodynamic exploration or a mix of these.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the specific online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are busy. It can also help people access a bilingual counsellor or someone with experience of different cultures without needing to change location. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to suit conversations over distance and to focus on practical coping alongside deeper insight.
