About Dina

Dina Villanueva helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in self-esteem, grieving, or struggling with life changes. She also supports those dealing with relationship difficulties, abandonment and attachment worries, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, guilt, shame and loneliness. Dina is based in the United Kingdom and works in English and Danish.

Dina offers a calm and welcoming approach. She listens without judgement and helps people set the pace for therapy.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what the person wants to address, with attention to everyday pressures as well as deeper patterns that affect current feelings. She brings five years of experience in mental health settings, including three years working directly with adults and young people. That background informs how she responds to concerns about mood, grief and relationship strain.

Dina works in a person-centred and relational way, placing value on the therapeutic relationship. She treats people as whole individuals and aims to create a dependable space for talking things through. At times she draws on solution-focused ideas to set practical steps forward and psychodynamic ideas to notice links between past experiences and present feelings.

Sessions can be arranged to suit different needs and circumstances, using a range of online formats. Dina is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers work in a straightforward, conversational style.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Dina lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Person-centred work focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers a supportive, non-judgemental presence and helps people set the pace for sessions. This approach helps with stress, low mood and building confidence to talk about difficult feelings.

Solution-focused ideas are brief and practical. They concentrate on clear goals and small, achievable steps. This can help when someone wants to change patterns quickly or try specific strategies between sessions.

Psychodynamic-informed work looks at links between past experiences and present feelings. It helps people notice repeating patterns and understand where strong emotions come from, which can be useful for relationship and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and choose what fits each person's needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively and can shift as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to use video, live chat is good for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing written reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping regular contact with a therapist.
