Erika Colussi Bellmont, BACP

Erika Colussi Bellmont helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and life changes. She offers support for issues such as low confidence, trauma and abuse, addiction and eating problems. Erika also works with concerns around grief, anger, parenting, ADHD and ageing and geriatric issues. She speaks English and Spanish and practises in the United Kingdom as a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

Erika uses an integrative style that draws on different ways of working to suit each person. She pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns, using attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred and psychodynamic approaches. Sessions focus on talking through what matters now while also looking at underlying patterns that keep difficulties repeating.

In sessions she aims to be collaborative and non-judgmental. Clients are invited to notice emotions, thoughts and relationship patterns and to try practical ways to cope day to day. Erika does not give direct advice; she reflects back what emerges and offers new perspectives to help people make clearer choices.

Her practice includes work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. She has experience working in an intercultural therapy centre where language and cultural barriers could make accessing help harder. That background informs her sensitivity to different values and ways of thinking.

Erika describes her role as supportive and empowering. She helps people increase resilience and move towards the life changes they want. If someone prefers sessions in Spanish, she can work in that language.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Erika draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work to guide her online practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns, which helps when addressing relationship worries, grief or caregiving stress. Client-centred work focuses on your experience in the room and on being listened to; it supports problems like low confidence, anxiety and depression by emphasising empathy and understanding.

Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Erika will discuss the approaches with clients and together they will decide what feels most helpful. That shared planning means goals, pace and techniques can be adjusted as understanding grows.

If you want to arrange online sessions, please check which formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around life - it can reduce travel, allow short check-ins during a lunch break, or make it simpler to meet when living far from services. Talk with Erika about practicalities so sessions can be scheduled to match everyday routines and needs.
