About Erika
Erika Colussi Bellmont is a counsellor who supports people with parenting concerns alongside a wide range of emotional difficulties. She offers help for anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, low self-esteem, addiction and eating concerns, and sleep problems. Erika works in English and Spanish and carries the BACP credential, which means she follows the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy standards.
Erika takes an open, collaborative approach. She draws on different methods to fit each person’s needs rather than using a single technique.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to make hidden patterns clearer and to build practical ways to cope day to day. Her work is informed by attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic perspectives, alongside client-centred listening. This means she pays attention to past experiences that shape current feelings, and she values hearing each person’s viewpoint.
The aim is greater insight and steadier emotional responses. Erika has three years' experience and has worked with people from many cultural backgrounds. She has particular experience offering counselling at an intercultural therapy centre, assisting people who face language or cultural barriers to getting help.
This background helps her adapt sessions to different ways of thinking. In sessions she listens without judgement and reflects what clients bring to help them see alternatives. She does not give direct advice, but can suggest practical coping strategies and steps to try between meetings.
Working together, she supports people to build resilience and move towards the life they want.

How her approaches work online
Erika draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to support people through online formats. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps with concerns about trust, intimacy and connection. Client-centred work offers empathic listening and reflection so people feel heard and can explore their own solutions and values.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Erika will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what helps most. That collaborative process means plans can change as a client discovers what brings the most relief and clarity.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you read facial cues and body language, phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care across different time zones and busy schedules, and they allow therapists and registered or accredited professionals to tailor contact to each person's needs.
