Aurelia Gergely-Preda
Counsellor in Seaham

Hi, I'm Aurelia (easy to pronounce: Oreli), a psychotherapist, counsellor, and energy healer. My approach to therapy is about creating space for deep listening—both to yourself and the wisdom within silence.

I believe that healing starts when we truly listen—to our thoughts, emotions, and most importantly, our body, which holds messages in the form of feelings and energy. Everything we experience is already present in our energy field before it manifests within us. That's why I integrate both traditional therapy and energy healing, helping you reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.

If you're ready to find balance, clarity, and healing, I'm here to support you.

Background & Counselling Qualifications

I hold a degree in Sociology-Psychology from the University of Bucharest, Romania (2011), providing me with a strong foundation in understanding human behaviour and mental well-being.

In 2021, I deepened my practice by becoming a Master Practitioner of Shamanic Energy Medicine through The Four Winds (USA), integrating ancient healing techniques with modern therapeutic approaches.

Most recently, in 2024, I completed a Foundation Degree in Counselling at the University of Sunderland, further enhancing my ability to support clients through deep listening, self-exploration, and transformative healing.

My diverse background allows me to blend psychological insight, energy work, and holistic healing to create a safe and empowering space for personal growth.

My Specialisms

I specialize in integrative therapy, combining psychotherapy, counselling, and energy healing to support deep emotional and spiritual transformation. My approach is holistic, blending modern psychological techniques with ancient healing practices to help clients reconnect with themselves on all levels—mind, body, and spirit.

Some key areas I work with include:

Trauma & Emotional Healing - Helping clients process past wounds, release emotional blockages, and find inner balance.
Energy Healing & Shamanic Practices - Using techniques from Shamanic Energy Medicine to restore energetic alignment and promote self-healing.
Mind-Body Awareness - Teaching clients to listen to their body's wisdom and understand the messages behind emotions.
Self-Discovery & Personal Growth - Guiding individuals in finding their true selves, strengthening their confidence, and cultivating inner peace.
Attachment & Relationship Challenges - Supporting individuals in navigating relationship dynamics, setting healthy boundaries, and healing from past relational wounds.
Through my work, I provide a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their inner world, gain clarity, and embrace healing at a deep level.

Approach to Counselling & How I Work

My approach to therapy is holistic, intuitive, and deeply compassionate. I believe that healing begins with self-awareness and the ability to listen to yourself beyond the noise of everyday life. Through a combination of psychotherapy, counselling, and energy healing, I guide clients to explore their emotions, understand their patterns, and reconnect with their true selves.

I integrate talk therapy with body awareness and energy work, recognizing that our emotions and past experiences are stored not just in our minds but also in our bodies and energy fields. By acknowledging this connection, we can release emotional blockages, heal past wounds, and create space for transformation.

How I Work:

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely.
I use mindfulness, body awareness, and deep listening to help you uncover and process emotions.
I incorporate shamanic energy techniques to facilitate healing on a deeper level.
I empower you to trust your intuition and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
I tailor my approach to each client's unique journey, helping you find balance and clarity.
Healing is a journey, and I am here to walk alongside you as a guide—but the real transformation comes from within you.
