About Azora

Azora Guimare3es is a NCPS counsellor with three years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people coping with trauma, abuse, grief, anxiety and related concerns. Azora lists blended family issues among her focus areas and supports people navigating relationship and family-related strains.

She often helps people manage the effects of sexual assault, domestic abuse, childhood neglect and other painful events. Sessions focus on practical coping strategies for grief, eating and sleeping problems, and anxiety. Azora also supports people adjusting to diagnoses such as ADHD or autism and those dealing with work-related racism or microaggressions.

Her background includes work with university students and volunteering as a counsellor and phone buddy for a domestic violence service. That experience shapes how she addresses the everyday pressures that follow traumatic events. She also works with people facing the emotional impact of court proceedings, miscarriage, abortion and parenting stresses.

Azora blends talk-based methods with coaching skills and neuro-linguistic programming techniques to address body image and eating concerns. She has developed a 12-week reflective booklet that can be used alongside sessions to support changes in eating habits and self-image.

She offers relationship-focused support too, teaching practical steps to rebuild intimacy and manage cultural differences. Her approach emphasises clear communication, managing resentments, and making decisions about family life. Azora invites people to try a session to see if her style is a good fit for their needs.

Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how past bonds affect current trust and intimacy. It can help with loyalty conflicts, blended household tensions and rebuilding emotional closeness. Client-centred work focuses on the person's own perspective and priorities, supporting clearer decision making and self-understanding. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage anxiety, stress and emotional reactivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, what has helped before and what feels realistic. Together they will try methods that suit the client's needs and adjust them as progress is reviewed.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. Shorter calls can work when time is limited, and audio-only options reduce bandwidth and camera demands. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the chosen approach to suit the way a client prefers to meet.
