Emilia Zaira Guerra

I offer online therapy on Zoom from Monday to Thursday.

My working hours are from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM

I am a counsellor in private practice with over 10 years of experience. I have gained a Post Graduate Diploma from York St John University.

I have a passion for helping men and women navigate relationship problems, heal from negative childhood experiences and enhance their self-esteem.

If you are experiencing anxiety, a sense of loss of identity, or grief due to major life changes such as separation, job loss, parenthood, or the loss of a loved one, I am here to provide a supportive space where you can freely express your feelings. I will listen, offer guidance and help you rediscover who you are.

Whether you are facing challenges in your present life or seeking to address the underlying causes of past issues, as an experienced counsellor, I can help you gain insight and provide support as you embark on a journey towards healing and personal growth.

As dual national, I bring a unique perspective to my counselling practice, having personal insights into the experience of living between cultures. With my cross-cultural background, I understand the challenges and dynamics that individuals from different cultural backgrounds may face. I provide cultural sensitive counselling that respects and values diverse experiences and perspectives. I am open to work with people from different ages, nationalities, cultures, religions and sexual orientations.

As an integrative therapist, I draw from various therapeutic approaches, including person-centered therapy, transactional analysis, solution focused and attachment theory and tailor my approach to meet the specific needs of each person.

I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and strive to create a collaborative environment and to provide a safe, confidential and inclusive space where my clients can gain a deeper understanding about the unique challenges they face.

Furthermore, I have had the privilege of working for various charities and schools offering counselling to children, parents and adults who may have not had the means to afford it. These experiences have allowed me to work with a diverse range of difficulties such as anxiety, depression, neglect, addiction, self-esteem, trauma, abuse, bereavement and isolation. I am still involved in the charity sector as a trustee on the board of 121 Counselling Charity.

I have completed specialized training with Nick Duffell in working with people who grew up at boarding school or were separated by their parents. Experiences and challenges faced by ex boarders can have long-lasting effects on their emotional well-being, sense of self–worth and relationships which can manifest later in life.

By integrating trauma informed and attachment theory into my practice, I assist clients in processing past traumas, while also fostering healthier attachment patterns.

I also run nature-based therapy sessions in York for individuals who find traditional talking therapy challenging. It can be particularly helpful for those dealing with stress, anxiety or depression.

I am a registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I attend monthly supervision as required by BACP and abide by its Ethical Framework for the counselling Professions.

DBS checked. 

It takes courage to examine your difficulties and I can support you in making those first steps. I can be with you on your journey.

Please give me a call or drop me an email and we can discuss what you need and if I am the right person for you. I offer a free 20 minute introductory session on zoom for this purpose.

I offer online counselling.

Whether you are struggling with a life event or you carry unhelpful patterns from the past, I would like to help you manage the present more to your satisfaction. I will listen and try to understand what life is like for you.

If you feel that you are not good enough and that your low self-esteem is impacting on your choices and the view of yourself, life can be hard.

Experiencing problems in important relationships in your life, or struggling to connect with people, can make you feel isolated.

Low mood, stress, anxiety can make us feel out of control.

You can experience one or more of the above and knowing where to start to can be daunting. Talking to somebody could be the first helpful step.

As an experienced counsellor, I truly believe that you have the potential to start your self-healing journey when you are supported and listened to in a non-judgmental way and when encouraged to be yourself.

I can help you exploring and identifying the roots of your difficulties and how they affect your present. When you look at your life through somebody else’s lense you can gain precious insights into your feelings and behaviours.

I can also facilitate you to focus on the future allowing you to find your own answers and to access your own inner resources and solutions.

I offer a confidential space in which I hope you will feel accepted and at ease.

I work with the whole person and not just with the issue that you present, which means that I encourage you to explore your difficulties in a way that is unique to you. Nobody will have experienced your issue in the same way that you will have done, so in order to respect this, my work is flexible and adaptable to what you need.

I am an integrative humanistic therapist, which means that I integrate elements of different approaches into my practice which includes Person-Centred, Transactional Analysis, Solution-Focused and Mindfulness.

I am open to work with people from different ages, nationalities, cultures, religions and sexual orientations.
