About Azora
Azora Guimarães is a counsellor who focuses on helping people carry less of their past into today. She works with individuals who are dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety, relationship strain and problems with eating or self-image.
Background and approach
Her manner is steady and practical, aimed at helping someone feel understood and find clearer steps forward. Azora uses a mix of approaches to match the person's needs.
She draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work, attachment-based ideas when early relationships affect current life, and client-centred techniques that keep the person's goals in focus. Mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking also appear in sessions when they help make sense of patterns.
Her background includes three years working in mental health and counselling, plus volunteering experience with Women’s Aid as a counsellor and phone buddy. That work has involved supporting people affected by domestic abuse, sexual violence and complex losses.
She has also run workshops on racial identity and provided tools for coping with microaggressions. Practical tools are part of her style.
Azora brings coaching and personal training experience into work around body image and relationships with food, and she offers a 12-week reflective booklet that complements counselling. Sessions can cover coping strategies, emotional regulation, relationship skills and planning next steps.
She works with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered in English and are available through video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the site.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Azora commonly uses the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work, which centres on improving communication, reducing conflict cycles and building emotional connection. This approach is practical and skills-based, useful for couples or partners wanting clearer interaction patterns and more emotional closeness.She also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current bonds and behaviour. This helps when someone notices repeated patterns in close relationships or struggles with trust and intimacy. Client-centred therapy forms the third thread, where the client’s own goals and pace guide the sessions and the counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Azora will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions together. That collaborative process makes it easier to try different techniques and keep what works best.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can be used for ongoing check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, study or family life while still keeping therapeutic continuity and focus.
