Azora Guimarães, NCPS

Azora Guimarães is a counsellor who focuses on supporting people through major life upheavals and painful past experiences. She works with individuals coping with trauma, grief, relationship strain and changes like a new diagnosis or shifts in family life. Azora combines practical tools and reflective work to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life.

She draws on three years of professional practice and holds NCPS as her credential. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions often centre on making sense of what happened, building coping strategies, and setting small, manageable goals.

Azora uses attachment-informed ideas and client-centred listening to help people notice patterns in relationships and self-worth. She also integrates mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking to look at feelings, behaviours and histories that keep people stuck. Couples work may include communication skills and rebuilding emotional connection.

Her background includes running workshops on identity and race, and volunteering with Women’s Aid as a counsellor and phone buddy. That experience informs practical support for people recovering from domestic abuse, sexual violence, or complex family histories. She also offers coaching-style tools for eating and body-image concerns, such as a 12-week reflective booklet designed to reshape food relationships.

Azora works in English and accepts international clients. If someone wants to start, they follow the platform Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit

Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people spot recurring relationship themes and learn new ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy places attention on listening and understanding your experience without judgement, which can be especially useful for processing grief, trauma and changes in identity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with you about your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide what to try. This makes sessions feel more tailored and collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Many people find online appointments easier to fit into busy lives because they remove travel time and can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep continuity when life is unpredictable or when someone is living abroad. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered and can choose the way that best fits your routine and comfort.
