Erika Colussi Bellmont helps people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy difficulties, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety and addiction. She also supports those dealing with grief, sleeping and eating problems, parenting challenges, anger, career strain, bipolar disorder, ADHD and major life changes. Erika works in English and Spanish and practices from the United Kingdom.
Erika follows an integrative, relational style. She listens first and adapts methods to fit what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to bring hidden patterns into awareness so they can be understood and changed. Her work is influenced by attachment-based ideas, which look at how past relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. She also draws on client-centred ways of working that place the person’s experience at the centre of the session.
Psychodynamic thinking helps when unconscious patterns and old hurts keep repeating. Erika has three years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has spent time working in an intercultural counselling centre supporting people from different cultures and language backgrounds.
In sessions she offers a calm, non-judgemental space and aims to work collaboratively. She will reflect back what you bring and suggest practical coping ideas when helpful. The focus is on gaining understanding of the past and present and moving toward clearer choices for the future.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can help identify patterns in close relationships and change how people relate to others now. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. In remote sessions the counsellor offers active listening and reflection to help people feel heard and better understand their priorities. Psychodynamic Therapy examines unconscious patterns that repeat in life and relationships; talking about past and present issues online can uncover those patterns and open up new choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Erika will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods collaboratively. That way the plan can change as understanding grows and different issues come up during therapy.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face and suit deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or have shorter, more frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping continuity with a single therapist.
