About Erika
Erika Colussi Bellmont is a BACP counsellor with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress and addictions. She also supports people dealing with grief, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and challenges around identity and parenting.
Erika uses an integrative approach that draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Psychodynamic ideas. Sessions are conversational and focused on helping the client understand feelings and patterns. She aims to bring unconscious or repeated responses into awareness so they can be considered differently.
She has worked in English and Spanish with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Much of her recent work has been at an intercultural therapy centre helping people who face barriers to accessing support because of language or culture. This experience informs how she listens and responds in sessions.
In practical terms Erika works relationally and collaboratively. She does not give direct advice but reflects material back in ways that may suggest new perspectives. She can also recommend pragmatic coping strategies when these are useful for daily life.
Clients can expect discussions about past and present experiences, attention to attachment patterns, and steps toward clearer decision-making. The focus is on understanding, building resilience and moving forward with practical tools and insight.
How her approaches translate to online work
Erika uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with intimacy, abandonment concerns and relationship difficulties. Client-centred practice focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can find their own solutions and build confidence. Psychodynamic elements bring attention to unconscious patterns and repeated behaviours that pop up in relationships and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit best, reviewing goals and preferences together. That collaborative decision helps shape what happens in sessions and what strategies are tried next.
Confirm the exact session options before booking because formats are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work and busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow flexible appointment times. Some formats also make it simpler to have a shorter check-in or to avoid being on camera when concentration or bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their approach so sessions are practical and relevant to everyday life.
