Azora Guimarães , NCPS

Azora Guimarães is a United Kingdom based therapist who supports people navigating the complex aftermath of trauma, abuse, sexual violence, grooming and childhood neglect. She works with clients facing grief, loneliness, eating and body-image struggles, the effects of new diagnoses such as ADHD or autism, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Holding an NCPS credential - a professional counselling qualification - Azora combines clinical experience with a practical, compassionate approach to help people make sense of painful experiences and build sustainable coping skills.

Her practice includes work with students and adults who feel overwhelmed by life transitions or by ongoing difficulties tied to family of origin, relationships and identity. She offers one-to-one therapy that can address parenting challenges, the emotional impact of court processes, miscarriage, abortion, or the long-term effects of domestic abuse. Azora also facilitates couples work focused on rebuilding intimacy, resolving betrayals, managing cultural differences, and making shared decisions about family life.

Outside of individual sessions, Azora has run workshops on issues of race and belonging and volunteers as a counsellor and phone supporter for people affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence. Drawing on training in coaching, personal training and neuro-linguistic programming, she also uses a 12-week reflective booklet as an adjunct to therapy to help clients reshape their relationship with food and body image. Prospective clients are encouraged to try a session to see if her style and approach are the right fit.
