About Vania Piludu
Vania Piludu is an HCPC-registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with 21 years of professional experience. She works with people facing a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and career challenges, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also addresses attachment and abandonment issues, challenges related to aging and caregiving, chronic illness and pain, and neurodiversity differences such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Vania draws on several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor support to each person’s needs. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental environment in which thoughts and feelings can be explored and understood. By focusing on practical strategies and personal values, she supports clients to build resilience, improve coping, and move toward more fulfilling ways of living.
Taking the first step toward change can require courage, and Vania offers steady, compassionate support for people navigating transitions, recovery from trauma, relationship struggles, and the day-to-day pressures of life. Her HCPC credential indicates registration with the Health and Care Professions Council in the UK, which recognises practitioners who meet professional standards.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Vania integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address emotional and relational difficulties. ACT encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking committed action, which helps people manage anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early and current relationship patterns to improve connection, trust, and intimacy, making it useful for relationship, abandonment, and family issues. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood instability, offering practical skills for coping and problem solving.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Vania works with clients to clarify their goals, preferences, and needs, and to adapt methods so therapy fits the individual rather than the other way around. This partnership helps ensure sessions feel relevant and productive.
Online work offers flexibility and access to registered professionals regardless of location. Vania provides support via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, bridge geographic distances, and maintain continuity of care during life changes.
