About Erika

Erika Colussi Bellmont is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She works with adults on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, parenting concerns and related life changes. Erika sees people in English and Spanish and accepts international clients.

She uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment-based, client-centred and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions aim to make sense of emotional reactions and the patterns that keep causing pain. Erika focuses on clear, practical reflections as well as looking at past connections that shape present behaviour.

In conversation she pays attention to how people describe themselves and their relationships. That helps identify unhelpful patterns and where small changes could ease daily life. She also offers simple coping suggestions when emotions feel overwhelming.

Erika has worked in an intercultural therapy centre providing counselling to people facing cultural or language barriers to getting help. This background informs how she works with identity, adoption and foster care issues, and diverse cultural perspectives.

Her practice is relational and collaborative. Clients can expect exploration of past and present experiences to gain clarity and new perspectives. Practical steps and ways of coping are discussed alongside deeper reflection to support moving forward.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Erika draws on attachment-based and client-centred ways of working alongside psychodynamic thinking. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and can help when trust or closeness are difficult. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what the person brings, which helps people feel heard and think things through aloud. Psychodynamic ideas pay attention to repeated themes and unconscious feelings that show up in relationships and personal decisions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Erika works collaboratively with each person to decide which ideas feel most helpful for their goals and situation. She checks in about what is working and adapts the focus as therapy progresses.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home or work life, for example by avoiding travel or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. They can also suit people who prefer speaking in English or Spanish from different countries. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find online work supports continuity of care when life circumstances change.
