About Azora
Azora Guimarães is a counsellor who helps people facing trauma, relationship strain, grief and questions about identity and belonging. She works with concerns like anxiety, depression, eating and body-image problems, ADHD, addictions, and the effects of abuse. Azora holds an NCPS credential and practises in the United Kingdom, offering support in English and accepting international clients.
She uses plain, practical conversation to help people make sense of painful experiences. Sessions often focus on building coping strategies, managing difficult emotions, and restoring everyday routines like sleep and eating.
Background and approach
Azora brings a coaching background and tools drawn from neuro-linguistic programming to work on behaviour change and body image concerns. Azora has experience supporting people through sexual assault, domestic abuse, childhood neglect and other forms of trauma.
She has worked with university students and volunteers with Women’s Aid as a counsellor and phone buddy, supporting people through recovery and practical challenges such as court proceedings. Couples come to her to rebuild intimacy, work through betrayals or manage cultural differences. She also supports individuals dealing with parenting questions, miscarriages, and the complex emotions that follow relationship or family changes.
Her approach combines attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, mindfulness and psychodynamic perspective with practical, solution-focused steps. Many clients work through a reflective 12-week booklet alongside sessions to reshape their relationship with food and body image. To see if she is a good match, follow the Start Therapy flow and complete the short questionnaire, then schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Azora uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they may react strongly in close relationships and how to build safer connections over time.She also uses client-centred therapy, which centres the conversation on your experience. The therapist listens without judgement and follows your pace, helping you feel heard while you find your own answers.
Mindfulness therapy is another thread in her work and offers simple practices to steady attention and reduce overwhelm. These skills can help with anxiety, stress, sleep and managing intense emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Azora will discuss options with you and together you will decide which methods best match your needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice shapes the goals and pace of therapy.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking so you know what is possible for scheduling. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer to meet from a familiar environment while they still engage in meaningful therapeutic work with a registered or accredited professional.
