Vania Piludu, HCPC

Vania Piludu is an HCPC-registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with 21 years of professional experience. She has supported people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and motivation, and a range of relationship and family concerns. Her work also covers depression, grief, intimacy and eating or sleeping difficulties, as well as longer-term challenges such as bipolar disorder and coping with life changes.

Vania emphasizes a nonjudgmental, open therapeutic atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be expressed honestly and explored together. She draws on established therapeutic methods to tailor sessions to each person, helping them build confidence, manage strong emotions, and find practical ways to move toward a more fulfilling life. Taking that first step requires courage, and she offers steady support through the process of change and recovery.

Fluent in English and Italian, Vania accepts international clients and offers a flexible range of session formats to suit different needs and schedules. Her HCPC registration indicates her authorization to practise in the UK as a recognised health professional.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you

Vania integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and supports values-based action for issues like anxiety and low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections, which can be helpful for intimacy, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms such as depression or stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Vania collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts methods as therapy progresses so the approach fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Vania is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular sessions from wherever you are, helping maintain continuity of care while accommodating work, family, and other commitments.
