Azora Guimarães
Compassionate support for trauma and life change
About Azora
Azora Guimarães offers calm, practical support for people carrying heavy emotional burdens. She helps individuals who are anxious, grieving, or struggling after trauma and abuse. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on making life easier day to day.
Azora uses short-term coaching tools alongside talking therapy to build coping skills and clearer thinking. Sessions aim to break big problems into smaller steps. She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, eating and body-image issues, and relationship or intimacy questions.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with people affected by sexual assault, domestic abuse, childhood neglect and other painful experiences. Azora has volunteered with Women’s Aid as a counsellor and phone buddy, offering support to people recovering from domestic abuse and sexual violence. That experience informs how she manages safety, pacing and practical next steps in sessions.
She also draws on coaching, personal training and neuro-linguistic programming techniques to help with behaviour change and healthier routines. This combination is used in interventions such as a 12-week reflective booklet for eating and body-image work that complements talking therapy. Azora holds the NCPS credential, which is listed with her professional details.
She speaks English and sees people from the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging depending on the person’s preference. People who start with Azora can expect a collaborative style.
She helps set goals, tries practical strategies between sessions, and checks in on progress so work stays focused and useful.

Sessions & fees
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. It helps people understand why they react strongly in relationships and supports rebuilding safer ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and uses empathic listening to help people find their own solutions and self-direction. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and to manage stress, anxiety and difficult emotions in daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adapt them as work progresses in a collaborative way.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to work. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading expressions, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions or a written way to reflect if speaking feels difficult. These options help people fit therapy around work, study or family commitments and make it simpler to maintain continuity over time.
