About Azora
Azora Guimarães is a counsellor who aims to help people facing trauma, abuse and the practical strains of everyday life. She offers calm, steady support for grief, anxiety, eating concerns and relationship strains. Azora uses clear, down-to-earth language and works with clients to build practical coping steps they can use day to day.
Azora draws on three years working in mental health and counselling, and she holds NCPS as a credential. Her background includes voluntary work with Women’s Aid where she provided phone support and one-to-one counselling for people affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence. That hands-on experience shapes how she responds to crisis and recovery in sessions.
Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with client-centred listening and psychodynamic reflection. Sessions aim to make sense of difficult memories and current patterns, and to help people try small, practical changes that reduce distress. Azora also uses mindfulness tools to manage stress and ground difficult moments.
She brings additional practical skills from coaching, personal training and neuro-linguistic programming to support people dealing with body image and eating issues. Azora offers a 12-week reflective booklet that works alongside talking therapy to change habits and attitudes toward food.
Azora also works with people navigating adoption and foster care related concerns, attachment questions and family-of-origin issues. She helps couples rebuild intimacy and address cultural differences, and she supports people through losses such as miscarriage and separation.
Sessions are conducted in English and Azora accepts international clients. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
How Azora uses attachment and mindfulness in online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. In plain terms this helps people understand why they might struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship patterns and provides ways to try different responses.Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping the client set the pace. It is useful when someone needs space to make sense of painful experiences and decide what change would feel manageable.
Mindfulness therapy brings simple exercises to reduce overwhelm and increase calm. These practices help with anxiety, stress and moments when memories or strong emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Azora aims to collaborate with each person to choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She will help you test a method and adjust it if it does not feel helpful.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing a shorter check-in during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every session. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to sustain ongoing therapy while juggling family, study or work commitments.
