Azora Guimarães, NCPS

Azora Guimares is a counsellor who helps people carrying difficult experiences find steadier day-to-day footing. She focuses on practical steps to manage overwhelming thoughts, build coping routines, and make small changes that improve everyday life. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at people who want to feel less stuck and more in control.

Azora draws on three years working in mental health alongside experience in coaching and personal training. She supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence and the knock-on effects of those experiences such as grief, eating difficulties, anxiety and depression. She also helps people facing identity and belonging challenges, including workplace racism and microaggressions.

Sessions often cover the impact of neurodivergence, such as ADHD or autism, and how a diagnosis can change daily life. Azora uses practical tools to address body image and eating concerns, including a 12-week reflective booklet she offers to complement therapy. She also supports people dealing with parenting stresses, miscarriage and other losses.

Couples come for help rebuilding intimacy, improving communication and making shared decisions about family life. Azora guides conversations about cultural differences, betrayal and the aftermath of traumatic births, focusing on clear steps people can try between sessions.

She volunteers with Womens Aid as a counsellor and phone buddy, providing additional experience supporting those recovering from sexual violence and domestic abuse. Azora is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. If you want to know if her approach fits, a short initial session can clarify how she might work with your concerns.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions; it helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build more reliable emotional connections. Client-centred therapy centres on the persons own goals and pace, offering empathic listening and reflection so clients can find their own solutions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce rumination and habitual worrying, which can help with anxiety, stress and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Azora will listen to what you need, discuss different ways of working, and test what helps most. Together you can adapt methods over time so the work feels useful and relevant to your everyday goals.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make some practical tools and homework easier to share and review between meetings, helping new habits stick in daily life.
