Vania Piludu helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with trauma and abuse, and work through anger and low self-esteem. She supports people facing depression, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, career strain, and the effects of bipolar disorder. Vania also addresses relationship tensions, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and challenges linked to LGBT identity and family matters.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about openly.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon. People are encouraged to name what matters to them and try small changes between meetings. Vania brings 21 years of experience to her practice and is registered with the HCPC.

Her approach draws on methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. She blends these to match each person's needs and pace. She also works on issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome traits, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

Vania helps people navigate life changes, coping after disasters, and complex mood or personality concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Italian and are available to people inside and outside the United Kingdom. The focus is on clear steps, steady support, and helping people build practical coping skills they can use day to day.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take small steps toward them. It is often used for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce distress, which can help with depression, anxiety and sleep or eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and helps people build more supported ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which techniques to try first. That plan can be adjusted as sessions progress so the person remains comfortable with the pace and focus.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone work can be useful when internet bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and across different time zones.
