About Azora
NCPS. 3 years' experience. Azora Guimarães works with trauma, relationship and identity concerns using a mix of attachment-based, client-centred and psychodynamic approaches alongside mindfulness and the Gottman Method. She supports people dealing with abuse, grief, eating and body-image difficulties, anxiety, stress, addiction and parenting concerns. Sessions also cover career strain, self-esteem, ADHD and the practical fallout of separation or domestic violence.
Azora explains things in plain language and focuses on what is affecting daily life. She helps people build coping strategies, understand past patterns, and make sense of painful events. Work may include talking through experiences, practising mindfulness skills, or developing shorter coaching-style plans to address behaviour around food and exercise.
Her background includes running a workshop called "The Complexity of Skin Colour" and volunteering with Women’s Aid as a counsellor and phone buddy. That work has informed her approach to racism in the workplace and to supporting people recovering from domestic abuse, sexual violence, miscarriage or traumatic births.
Azora draws on coaching, personal training and neuro-linguistic programming techniques when helpful, for example in structured work on eating and body image. She also offers a 12-week reflective booklet used alongside counselling to support changes in relationship to food and body image.
She offers help to couples wanting to rebuild intimacy or manage cultural differences and to individuals navigating the impact of court proceedings or parenting after trauma. International clients are accepted and sessions are conducted in English.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early attachments affect present relationships and can help with intimacy, abandonment and family-of-origin issues. Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's experience at the centre and prioritises listening and reflection to help people clarify feelings and choices. Psychodynamic Therapy considers unconscious patterns and past experiences to help explain ongoing reactions and repetitive relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Azora will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the focus as practical concerns emerge.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it possible to see a therapist who lives in a different region or country. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these benefits to help people continue therapy when in-person appointments are difficult.
