Dina Villanueva
Calm, person-centred support for life changes
About Dina
Dina Villanueva helps people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem and big life changes. She welcomes straightforward conversations and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone worried or unsure about counselling. Dina listens in a warm, non-judgemental way.
She focuses on building a trusting relationship and works at a pace that feels right for each person. Sessions centre on what the client wants to address and on practical steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Her approach is mainly person-centred and relational. That means the connection between therapist and client is important, and Dina aims to see each person as a whole. She may also draw on solution-focused ideas to identify practical changes, and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past events can shape current feelings.
Over five years she has worked in mental health services and provided three years of counselling with adults and young people. Her experience includes helping people with attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and issues affecting women. Sessions are offered in English and Danish.
Dina practises in the United Kingdom and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She aims to support people who want steady, respectful help while they navigate difficult times.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Person-centred work focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. It helps when someone needs a steady listener and space to understand what matters most to them. Solution-focused techniques are short-term and practical - they aim to spot small changes that make everyday life easier. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences may influence current feelings and patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative step helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see each other and use visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging can suit people who prefer typing or need flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or health demands while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
