Azora Guimarães, NCPS

Azora Guimarães is a counsellor who helps people dealing with trauma, relationship strain and identity questions. She works with issues like abuse, grief, eating and body-image problems, ADHD and anxiety. Azora draws on practical tools alongside talking therapy to help clients make small, steady changes.

Azora uses a blend of approaches that centre on the client’s experience. She often focuses on attachment patterns and the emotions that follow from painful events. Sessions are straightforward and aim to make difficult memories easier to understand and manage.

Her background includes work supporting people affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence, including volunteering with Women’s Aid as a counsellor and phone buddy. That work has involved helping people cope with court proceedings, pregnancy loss and the long-term effects of trauma. Azora has also run workshops addressing racism and identity issues, and brings that experience into conversations about belonging and microaggressions.

She incorporates coaching skills, personal training knowledge and elements of neuro-linguistic programming into practical tools for eating and body-image concerns. She uses a 12-week reflective booklet alongside sessions for clients wanting a structured way to shift their relationship with food.

Azora is based in the United Kingdom and is registered with NCPS, which appears after her name. She has three years of professional experience. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Azora’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotions and trust. In practice Azora helps people notice recurring patterns in close relationships and work out new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.

Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what you say, and follows the pace you need to understand feelings or make changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce overwhelm and manage strong emotions. Those techniques can help with anxiety, stress, sleeping problems and cravings related to eating or addictions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Azora will talk with you about your goals and try different ways of working until you both find what helps. That decision is made together and can change as needs shift.

If you plan to use online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Confirming formats helps you decide what fits your routine - for example, whether you prefer a video check-in, a shorter phone catch-up or scheduled time that slots into a work break. Online sessions can make it easier to keep therapy consistent around daily life, but please confirm the available options with the service when you book.
