About me
My name is Valentina and I am an experienced, qualified and BACP registered and NCS accredited counsellor working in private practice in Brighton & Hove
I also work as an assessment counsellor for a privately run counselling service and as a Young people's counsellor for a secondary school and Sixth Form SEN department.
I’m trained as an Integrative Counsellor but my practice has evolved into a Pluralistic philosophy, tailoring therapy to suit your own specific needs, offering my clients an integrative and collaborative approach.
Psychodynamic and Humanistic theories are an important part of my work but my clients also benefit from my knowledge and practice in Mindfulness, Polyvagal, CBT and Systemic interventions.
I offer a face to face and online confidential and non-judgemental safe space in which to explore your personal concerns, ensuring the trust you place in me is ethically maintained.
I can provide a compassionate, warm and supportive environment to facilitate you, understanding what you are going through when you face difficult thoughts and feelings.
My aim is to create a trustworthy therapeutic relationship where you could explore safely what you bring to the sessions. Or where you could observe and work towards personal goals, renew trust in yourself and others, gain confidence and make lifestyle satisfying and meaningful changes.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

I offer a sliding scale flexible fee structure tailored to you and your particular needs and circumstances.
Feeling nervous about asking for a sliding scale?
I get it. Talking about money can be hard! Conversations about finances can be uncomfortable and even embarrassing. It’s natural if you’re feeling unsure about your own willingness or ability to initiate an inquiry about sliding scale. This is an important part of the process, and I’d love to help ease some of the stress so, please don't worry much and get in touch!
