About Erika
Erika Colussi Bellmont is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, depression, relationship problems and phobias. She supports those dealing with stress, low self-esteem, addiction, grief and identity concerns. Erika works in both English and Spanish and aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward.
Erika is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. She has three years of experience and has worked with people from different cultural backgrounds.
Background and approach
Her work pays attention to a person's history and how it shapes current feelings and reactions. Her style is relational and collaborative. She listens closely, reflects what clients bring, and helps them notice patterns that influence their choices.
Sessions focus on building insight and practical ways to cope when emotions feel overwhelming. Erika draws on attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred and psychodynamic approaches. That means she pays attention to how early relationships affect trust and closeness, while also following what matters most to the person in front of her.
Therapy aims to make sense of past and present experiences so clients can move forward. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through worries and try different ways of managing distress. Erika will suggest practical strategies when helpful, but she does not give direct advice; instead she reflects and supports people as they find their own solutions.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Erika uses attachment-based and client-centred ideas to guide her online work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people form close bonds and respond to fear or rejection; it can be helpful for relationship difficulties and issues with trust. Client-centred therapy places the person at the centre of sessions, with the counsellor following their pace and priorities to build understanding and confidence. Psychodynamic ideas also inform her work by looking at recurring patterns that come from past experiences and show up in current life.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapy process. Erika will work together with each person to decide which ideas fit best for their goals and preferences. That collaborative stance helps shape sessions so they feel relevant and useful rather than prescriptive.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, need more flexible timing, or want to reflect between messages. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family or travel commitments and to choose the way of working that feels most comfortable.
