Allegra Wassef, BACP

Allegra Wassef uses a client-centred approach to therapy that focuses on listening closely and responding to each person as an individual. She creates a calm space for people to talk about what feels hard and to find clearer ways forward. Her style is warm and collaborative, with practical support alongside reflective conversation.

Allegra has three years of practice and holds a diploma in therapeutic counselling. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety or low mood to make sense of their feelings. She also supports those facing life changes, working through relationship worries, and building self-esteem.

Sessions often look at how attachment and body image affect day-to-day life. She can help with loneliness, questions about sexuality, and concerns linked to pregnancy and childbirth. Allegra also offers time to explore life purpose and self-love when people feel stuck or disconnected.

Her client-centred work means the person leads the pace and focus of sessions. Allegra reflects what she hears, asks gentle questions, and helps people identify small, useful steps. Practical ideas and coping strategies are offered when they suit the person’s goals.

People meet with her by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to availability.

How client-centred therapy translates to online sessions

Client-centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgement. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's concerns, reflects feelings back, and helps the client find their own solutions; it is helpful for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and relationship worries.

Allegra will work with the client to decide which elements of this approach best suit their situation. Figuring out the right method is a collaborative step in the first few meetings, so goals, pace and techniques are agreed together rather than imposed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for different needs. Video calls are useful when visual connection helps the conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text sessions can be shorter check-ins or a way to work without being on camera. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional understanding.
