Integrative Counselling
with Vera Braghiroli
In Stroud and online
Space to discover who else you are,
beyond the capable one.
A space to bring the parts of yourself you've had to set aside.
Welcome.
I'm Vera Braghiroli, a qualified integrative counsellor and a psychotherapist in advanced training at the Minster Centre in London. Born in Italy, I now live and work in the Cotswolds.
My therapeutic work is tailored around you rather than fitting you to a single modality. In practice, that means paying attention not only to what you think and feel, but to what your body carries and where it comes from.
Alongside my private practice with adults, I volunteer with a local counselling charity and work in a primary school, supporting children with social, emotional and mental health needs. This gives me a deep understanding of family systems, attachment and safeguarding, which informs how
I sit with adults navigating their own histories.

It's our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless.”

Welcome. I'm Vera, a qualified Integrative Counsellor and a Psychotherapist in advanced training at the Minster Centre in London. My work is trauma-informed, with a particular focus on attachment and relational difficulties.
I have always admired the imperfect perfection of the human mind, body and soul, and I believe that by embracing my own vulnerability and humanity, I am better able to connect with you and support you on your unique healing journey. I see the quality of our relationship as a key component of meaningful change.
My work is research-informed and tailored around you rather than a fixed method. I draw on psychodynamic theory, developmental and existential perspectives, body psychotherapy, neuroscience and emotionally focused therapy, which in practice means paying attention not only to what you think and feel, but to what your body carries and where it comes from.
Alongside my private practice with adults, I volunteer at the Listening Post Counselling Service, a charity providing accessible mental health support across Gloucestershire, and work as a Pastoral Care Practitioner in a school, supporting children with disruptive behaviours and additional needs. This gives me a deep appreciation of family systems and child development that shapes how I work with adults navigating their own histories.
