About Azora
Azora Guimarães is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience. She works with people carrying the effects of trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, eating and body-image problems, relationship and intimacy concerns, and the everyday strain of parenting and career stress. Azora also supports those adjusting to ADHD, autism, or other new diagnoses, and people dealing with addiction, sleep problems and compassion fatigue.
Her sessions aim to be practical and straightforward. She listens to what matters most to each person and helps them name the problems that keep returning. Conversations focus on coping strategies, clearer decision-making, and small steps that fit into everyday life rather than long theoretical explanations.
Azora draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to look at how early relationships shape present feelings. She also uses psychodynamic perspectives to uncover patterns that return in relationships and mindfulness to help manage stress and overwhelming emotion. Couples work may include techniques from the Gottman Method to improve connection and communication.
She has experience supporting people after sexual assault, domestic abuse, childhood neglect and other forms of trauma. Her background includes delivering workshops on racial identity and volunteering with Women’s Aid as a counsellor and phone buddy, where she has supported those affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence.
Practical tools form part of her work. Azora uses coaching skills, elements of neuro-linguistic programming and a reflective 12-week booklet she developed for people working on food and body-image issues. Sessions are intended to help people make sense of difficult experiences and find clearer ways forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Azora uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current emotional responses, which can help with trauma, intimacy and relationship issues. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions, useful for worries, grief and self-esteem concerns. She also draws on mindfulness practices to teach simple ways to manage stress and overwhelming emotion.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Azora will discuss your priorities and try different ways of working so that the pace and methods fit your needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on patterns from the past, practical coping skills, or relationship strategies in couples work.
