About Azora
Azora Guimarães is a counsellor who focuses on parenting concerns alongside a wide range of emotional and relationship issues. She draws on a mix of therapeutic styles to help parents and individuals manage stress, anxiety, grief, eating and body-image difficulties, and the effects of past trauma.
Azora communicates plainly and aims to make sessions feel practical and manageable for someone juggling family life. She works in ways that help people untangle painful experiences.
Background and approach
That might mean talking through the impact of abuse, grief, or a difficult birth, and building simple coping steps to use day to day. Azora also supports people dealing with identity, microaggressions and workplace racism, and she offers tools to strengthen self-worth and resilience.
Her background includes work as a coach and personal trainer and training in neuro-linguistic programming, which she sometimes uses alongside therapy to address eating and body image. She has run workshops on topics such as skin colour and has volunteered with Women’s Aid as a counsellor and phone buddy supporting people affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence.
Azora describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients make sense of confusing or painful experiences, then builds practical strategies to manage symptoms and rebuild connection. Sessions can include reflective exercises, skill practice and tailored resources such as a 12-week booklet for changing relationships with food.
She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English to people internationally. Azora has three years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential.

How Azora’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and build new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve closeness. Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the work, with the counsellor offering empathy and non-judgemental listening to help people find their own solutions; this is useful when someone needs a calm space to make sense of feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Azora will discuss your goals, preferences and current challenges and together you will choose which methods to try. That collaborative process allows adjustments as you go, so sessions stay practical and relevant to parenting and relationship goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and couples work. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, reflection prompts or when typing helps you organise thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and situations.
