About Azora Guimarães
Azora Guimarães is a therapist based in the United Kingdom with three years of clinical experience and the NCPS credential, a recognized professional qualification. She works with people affected by trauma, abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, childhood neglect, and other painful experiences, helping them navigate grief, loneliness, eating difficulties, parenthood challenges, and the impact of diagnoses such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, or PTSD.
Azora’s practice includes focused support for university students and young adults who may feel overwhelmed by academic and life transitions. She partners with clients to explore ongoing difficulties, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaning from distressing experiences in a calm and nonjudgmental environment. Her trauma-focused approach seeks to help clients make sense of scattered, confusing feelings and rebuild a clearer sense of self.
Beyond trauma, Azora provides assistance with identity and belonging, and she has experience addressing racism in workplace settings and helping parents navigate conversations with their children. In 2023 she delivered a workshop called "The Complexity of Skin Colour," and since then she has continued to offer practical tools and resilience-building resources for people encountering everyday microaggressions.
She volunteers with Women’s Aid as a counsellor and phone buddy, supporting those living with or recovering from domestic abuse, childhood trauma, or sexual violence. Her one-to-one sessions can include guidance through the stress of court proceedings and the emotional complexities of motherhood, abortion, or miscarriage.
Drawing on a background in coaching, personal training, and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), Azora supports clients working on food relationships and body image. She uses a 12-week reflective booklet alongside therapy as a proactive aid to reshape eating patterns and foster a healthier body image. Couples also seek her help to strengthen intimacy, rebuild emotional connection, manage cultural differences, and work through betrayals, resentments, miscarriages, or traumatic births.
Azora integrates approaches suited to each person’s needs, focusing on attachment, mindfulness, psychodynamic insight, solution-focused strategies, Gottman-informed work with couples, and trauma-focused methods. At the core of her practice is a belief in the possibility of healing - she stands alongside clients as they put the pieces of their experiences back together and build sustainable coping mechanisms for the future.
