About Erika
Erika Colussi Bellmont is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She supports people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression, and codependency-related patterns.
Erika uses a straightforward, relational style. She listens to what people bring and helps them understand how past experiences affect current feelings and choices. Sessions aim to increase awareness and open up different ways of responding to stress, anger, addiction or grief.
Her work draws heavily on attachment ideas. That helps when someone keeps putting others first, struggles with closeness, or worries about abandonment. She also uses client-centred listening so that people can talk through their concerns in their own words and feel understood.
Psychodynamic ideas are part of the mix as well. These help bring unconscious patterns into view so people can notice repeated reactions and try other ways of relating. Practical coping suggestions are offered when helpful, alongside talking through painful memories.
Erika has experience working in English and Spanish with people from varied cultural backgrounds. She currently works at an intercultural therapy centre and is used to helping people who face language or cultural barriers to accessing care. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session via the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current closeness and safety. Online sessions can help people notice patterns of needing approval, fearing abandonment, or avoiding intimacy and practise new ways of relating in real time.Client-Centred Therapy prioritises being heard without judgment. In this style the therapist reflects what is said and follows the person’s lead so they can explore their feelings and build confidence to make changes.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring emotional patterns and unconscious drivers. Working this way helps bring repeated reactions into view so someone can try different choices and reduce automatic responses to stress or triggers.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and choose methods together. This is a collaborative process that can shift as therapy progresses.
Confirm the current online session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, avoid travel time and offer the option not to use video. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
