Erika Colussi Bellmont , BACP

Erika Colussi Bellmont is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom who blends several therapeutic methods to meet each person's needs. As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she works in line with the association's professional standards and ethics, applying an integrative approach that draws on different techniques to support self-exploration and emotional growth.

Her practice places particular emphasis on attachment-informed work alongside client-centered and psychodynamic ideas, helping clients bring unconscious patterns into awareness so they can build greater resilience and psychological wellbeing. Erika collaborates with clients to explore emotional and relational difficulties, looking at past and present experiences to create new perspectives, understanding and clarity.

Erika has worked with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds in both English and Spanish and currently contributes to an intercultural therapy centre that aims to reduce barriers related to language and culture. Her clinical focus includes anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, low self-confidence, identity concerns, anger management, addiction, and eating disorders.

She offers a relational, non-judgmental stance and supports clients as they reflect on their feelings and choices. Rather than offering direct advice, Erika aims to mirror what clients bring in a way that opens up new possibilities and, when appropriate, suggests practical coping strategies to manage difficult emotions and situations.

Attachment and Client-Centered Approaches in Online Therapy

Erika often draws on attachment-based and client-centered methods to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses, and it can be helpful for people working with abandonment, intimacy, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic stance that prioritizes the client’s own experience and pace, supporting self-exploration and confidence in decision making.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Erika approaches this collaboratively, listening to each person's needs, goals and preferences and then tailoring methods that feel most helpful. Together the therapist and client review what is working and adjust the approach as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to engage in therapy while fitting around work, family and geographic considerations. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care, schedule appointments more easily and access support from different locations, helping clients integrate therapy into their daily lives.
