Azora Guimarães, NCPS

Azora Guimarães offers calm, practical support for people carrying difficult experiences. She aims to create an easy first step for someone who is anxious, exhausted, or unsure what will help. Azora speaks plainly and listens closely, helping clients sort their priorities and find manageable ways forward.

Azora has three years' experience as a counsellor and works with people affected by trauma, abuse and domestic violence. She also helps people dealing with grief, eating and body-image concerns, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, and relationship or intimacy issues. Her background includes work with people facing cultural or identity-related stress and those coping after miscarriage or court processes.

Her style blends client-centred and attachment-based approaches. Sessions focus on being heard, understanding patterns, and building small practical strategies to reduce distress. She uses mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present feelings and choices.

Azora draws on coaching skills and neuro-linguistic programming to support changes in behaviour, especially around food and body image. She offers a 12-week reflective booklet clients can use alongside sessions to track progress and practise new habits between meetings.

Sessions are offered in English and can be taken online from the United Kingdom. Azora is registered with NCPS. International clients are accepted and she provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible contact.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Azora frequently combines attachment-based work and client-centred methods in online sessions. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating to others. Client-centred therapy focuses on being listened to without judgement and letting the person's own goals steer the work.

She also draws on mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions in the moment. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress and for grounding after difficult memories. Choosing the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process; Azora discusses options with each person and adjusts the plan based on their needs, goals and preferences.

Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people see facial cues and create a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, and the chance to share thoughts between scheduled meetings. These options help maintain continuity and make it simpler to build skills over time with registered or accredited professionals and therapists.
