I’m Valeria Bonfiglio, a psychotherapist based in London offering a warm and supportive space for individuals and couples. My work has been shaped by many years of studying and learning, and above all, by the privilege of being welcomed into people’s lives, listening to their experiences, and exploring together what matters most to them.
My academic training in Argentina, Spain, and the UK has given me a broad perspective on people’s lives and experiences. Living and working in different countries has shown me how personal challenges are often connected to the families, cultures, and identities we come from, and how important it is to feel truly understood.
My Professional Journey as a Psychotherapist in London
My path as a psychotherapist has taken me across continents — from Buenos Aires to Madrid, and now to London. Along the way, I’ve worked with diverse organisations and developed a private practice that reflects both my professional training and my personal values.
I offer psychotherapy for individuals and couples, as well as clinical supervision for fellow practitioners. All my services are available in both English and Spanish, so you can choose the language that feels most comfortable for you.
My Approach to Psychotherapy
Therapy with me is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I draw on an integrative humanistic approach, combining different psychological perspectives while always keeping the focus on what matters most: your experience, your voice, and your goals.
Together, we create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore challenges, understand patterns, and discover new ways to move forward. Whether you’re facing stress, depression, loss, or relationship difficulties, therapy offers the chance to reconnect with yourself and discover possibilities for change.
Qualifications and Professional Standards
I hold a degree in Psychology from the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina), a Postgraduate Diploma in Social Psychology from the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain), and a Master’s in Forensic Psychology from Middlesex University (UK).
As a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS), I follow the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and integrity in my work. This ensures every client receives therapy that is safe, respectful, and guided by best practice.
Start Your Therapy Journey with a Psychotherapist in London
Taking the first step can feel daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. In our sessions, you can expect empathy, authenticity, and a steady commitment to your well-being.
I work with people from all walks of life, offering both in-person and online sessions to ensure therapy is accessible and flexible. My aim is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change.
If you’re ready to begin this journey, feel free to get in touch. We can explore what you need and how therapy can support you.
Questions People Often Ask Me
Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision, and the best way to know if it feels right is to meet and see. In our first session, you’ll have the chance to share what brings you here and ask me any questions. You don’t need the kind of connection you would with a friend, but you should feel comfortable enough to talk openly. That sense of safety and trust is just as important as my training and qualifications.
My work is guided by authenticity, compassion, respect, and inclusivity. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process where you feel supported and free to explore your experiences at your own pace. Creating a safe, non-judgmental space is at the heart of what I do, so you can bring all parts of yourself into the room.
I’m inspired by the courage it takes to come to therapy and to look honestly at your own experiences. Seeing how people grow, heal, and discover new ways of living is deeply moving. To accompany someone on that journey and witness the resilience and strength that emerge along the way is a privilege that continues to inspire me.
For me, the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of the work. It can feel like a kind of rehearsal space, where you can explore new ways of relating in a safe and supportive environment. What happens in the room often carries into life outside it, helping you build more authentic connections. My background and training give me tools, but it’s the human connection — honest, respectful, and collaborative — that truly shapes the work we do together.
