About Vania

Vania Piludu is an HCPC-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with 21 years of professional experience. She specialises in supporting people dealing with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, motivation challenges, low self-esteem, and confidence concerns, and she works with a wide range of related issues including relationship and family difficulties, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with life changes.

Vania creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared and explored. She recognises that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage and offers steady support throughout that process. She draws on a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor work to each person’s needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

She works in English and Italian and is available to work with international clients. The HCPC credential refers to registration with the Health and Care Professions Council, the UK regulator that sets professional standards for certain health and care practitioners. Vania focuses on practical skills and collaborative exploration to help people manage reactions, improve relationships, and build greater resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes by focusing on committed action rather than symptom elimination.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. It supports work on intimacy, relationship difficulties, and issues that stem from attachment wounds.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and many daily coping challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals can combine elements of different approaches to tailor work to the individual.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to schedule sessions around work, family, and travel. The flexibility of remote sessions supports continuity of care and makes it easier for clients in different locations to access regular, consistent support.
