About Vania
Vania Piludu helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. She also supports people with compassion fatigue and a wide range of other problems that affect daily life and wellbeing.
Vania greets each person with a straightforward, non-judgemental approach. She aims to make the first step easier and more manageable.
Background and approach
Vania works in a way that puts the person’s experience first. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She listens and helps people name unhelpful patterns, then tries different tools to shift those patterns.
The focus is on small changes that matter in day-to-day life. Her practice draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. These inform how she supports emotion regulation, relationship concerns, and coping after trauma.
Vania brings 21 years of professional experience and is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. She works with people in English and Italian and accepts clients based in other countries when arrangements allow. To begin, people are invited to complete the platform’s short matching questionnaire and then book according to the therapist’s schedule.
Session fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Vania works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means therapy can adapt as needs change over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes working with a therapist across borders possible when arrangements allow. Registered or accredited professionals will help match the pace and style of sessions to everyday life and practical priorities.
