Valentina Mengarelli is a UK-based therapist with five years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, motivation challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She works with each person as an individual, shaping conversations and treatment plans to match specific circumstances and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Valentina emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction, creating a space where taking the first steps toward change is met with understanding rather than judgment.

Her practice focuses on empowering clients to build resilience and find practical ways to manage day-to-day struggles. Valentina holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional standards in the UK for counsellors and psychotherapists. She encourages clients to see seeking help as a courageous decision and offers steady support throughout the process of growth and change.

Whether addressing short-term concerns or longer-standing patterns, Valentina adapts her methods to the needs presented in therapy, guiding people toward more fulfilling and balanced lives while honoring their pace and preferences.
