About Azora
Counsellor Azora Guimarães is registered with NCPS and has three years' experience supporting people in the United Kingdom with trauma, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She works with individuals who are coping with abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, eating and body image issues, ADHD and neurodiversity, and challenges linked to parenting and family life.
Azora offers straightforward, practical sessions. She uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions may include talking through past experiences, building coping strategies for day-to-day life, and practical tools for eating and body image concerns developed from coaching and personal training experience.
She has run workshops on race and identity and supports people facing microaggressions and workplace racism. Voluntary work with Women’s Aid informs her work with people affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence, including support around court processes and the emotional impact of miscarriage or abortion.
Couples come to her to rebuild intimacy, manage cultural differences and address resentments or betrayals. Her practice also covers career stress, sleep problems, addiction-related worries and compassion fatigue. Azora aims to help clients make sense of difficult experiences and find manageable steps forward.
She uses a 12-week reflective booklet alongside sessions for people working on eating and body image. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the site matching process to book an initial session and check whether her style fits their needs.
How Azora uses therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships. It helps when past bonds affect how someone trusts, connects or reacts in relationships now. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and helping the person find their own solutions. It suits people who want practical clarity and a non-directive style. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage strong emotions; it can help with anxiety, sleep problems and coping with cravings.Choosing the right approach is part of the first sessions. Azora will discuss what matters to the client and try out methods that match their needs and goals. The plan can change as the work progresses and is agreed together in sessions.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, study or family time. They can reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online work to keep continuity when life is busy, and this can help maintain steady progress between face-to-face meetings if those are later chosen.
