Erika Colussi Bellmont, BACP

Erika Colussi Bellmont is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a UK professional body that sets standards and ethical guidance for counsellors and psychotherapists. She works with an integrative approach, drawing on different therapeutic methods to match what feels most helpful for each person and to support deeper self-exploration.

Working in both English and Spanish, Erika has supported people from diverse cultural backgrounds and currently provides counselling in an intercultural therapy centre to help those who may face barriers such as language or cultural differences. Her practice is relational and collaborative, focusing on understanding emotional and psychological difficulties and bringing unconscious patterns into awareness so clients can build resilience and move forward with their well-being.

Her clinical experience includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, low confidence and identity concerns, anger management, addiction and eating disorders. Attachment-based ideas strongly inform her work and she often explores how early attachments shape present relationships and emotional responses. Erika does not provide direct advice; instead she reflects what clients bring, offers new perspectives, and may suggest practical coping strategies to help manage difficult emotions and situations.

Erika aims to empower people who take the step to seek support, offering steady guidance as they explore past and present influences and work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Erika draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional safety - this approach can help with abandonment concerns, attachment issues and relationship difficulties. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and following the client's lead to build self-understanding and confidence, making it useful for identity concerns, low self-esteem and navigating life changes. Psychodynamic Therapy is another element of her work, focusing on how unconscious processes and past experiences shape present feelings and behaviours, which can be helpful when looking to gain deeper insight into long-standing patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Erika works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She discusses options with clients and adapts the approach as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Erika can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and time zones. These formats make it easier to access a registered professional from the United Kingdom while living elsewhere or balancing work and family commitments, and they allow therapists to tailor sessions to what feels most comfortable for each client.
