Vania Piludu, HCPC

Vania Piludu is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She supports clients facing relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strains and career change. Vania also works with people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and ageing and geriatric issues. She communicates in English and Italian and brings 21 years of experience to her practice.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to create an open space where clients can speak honestly without feeling judged. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, alongside making sense of painful experiences and emotional patterns.

Vania draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to act in line with what matters to them, even when emotions are difficult. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating.

Over two decades of work have included supporting people through loss, long-term health problems and major life transitions. Her HCPC registration is shown as HCPC. That registration is recorded as part of her professional details.

She offers sessions in English and Italian and accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and the practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them control actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression and coping with chronic health or life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to break unhelpful cycles; it can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current trust and closeness; this can be useful when intimacy or communication causes distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then suggest methods to try. Plans can change as therapy proceeds so the fit can be checked and adjusted together.

The original biography does not list which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. They also let people use a therapist who works in another location or country. Registered or accredited professionals offer remote support in ways that aim to match in-person work, while helping to work through grief, anxiety, ageing concerns and caregiving stress across distances.
