About Dina Villanueva

Dina Villanueva offers a compassionate, non-judgemental approach to counselling that helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and major life changes. She listens attentively to what is troubling a person and supports them to move toward personal growth and meaningful change. Her style is warm and caring, and she works at each person's own pace within a safe and personal space.

Dina adapts her work to suit individual needs and circumstances, offering flexible arrangements on request. She brings five years of professional experience in mental health services, including three years of counselling with adults and young people. Her practice is grounded in a person-centred and relational way of working, where the therapeutic relationship is central and each person is seen as a whole individual.

At times Dina draws on other approaches such as solution-focused and psychodynamic ideas to help connect current feelings and patterns with past events or childhood experiences. She aims to be a supportive presence alongside clients as they make choices that lead to greater fulfilment and resilience in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Dina commonly draws on a person-centred approach, which focuses on creating an empathic and respectful relationship that allows clients to explore their feelings and discover their own solutions. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, isolation, and navigating life changes.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on practical steps and immediate strengths to help manage stress, anxiety and relationship concerns. These brief, goal-oriented methods aim to build momentum and coping strategies for everyday challenges.

At times Dina integrates psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences and attachment patterns may influence present emotions and behaviour, which can be useful for working with issues such as abandonment and relational difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Dina works with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the style of therapy as understanding and trust grow.

Online therapy offers flexible access to support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or mobility needs, and allow clients to receive consistent care from registered professionals regardless of location within the United Kingdom.
