Chanel Muharrem, BACP

Chanel Muharrem uses a Client-Centred approach and puts each person at the heart of the counselling process. She encourages people to set their own pace and focus on what matters to them. Chanel aims to help people feel more able to manage day-to-day pressures and to make clearer choices about their next steps.

She supports people working through anxiety, low mood and stress, and those struggling with self-esteem or relationship problems. Chanel also helps with bereavement and grief, career pressures, life changes such as retirement or menopause, and issues around intimacy and trust. Addictions and trauma are also within her practice focus.

Chanel draws on four years of counselling experience in a range of settings. Her background includes work in the City with high-pressure professionals and roles in academia supporting students and staff. Those roles shaped how she recognises workplace and study-related strain and practical ways to move forward.

She has provided bereavement counselling and support for anxiety and depression through Mind. Chanel holds BACP accreditation from The British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. She combines that experience with a straightforward, listening-based style to help people find their own solutions.

Sessions can be arranged in ways that suit different lives, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Chanel works in the United Kingdom and offers services in English.

Client-Centred care and online counselling options

Chanel works primarily from a Client-Centred perspective, which means she focuses on what each person wants to bring to sessions. This approach is about listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers, and it can be useful for issues like low mood, self-esteem, relationship worries and grief.

Her background in high-pressure work and university settings informs how she supports people facing career stress, life transitions and caregiving strain. That experience shapes practical conversations about coping, boundaries and next steps rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chanel will discuss clients' needs, goals and preferences and will adapt how she works so it fits the person. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit people with lower bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing support between calls or when written reflection feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and daily life.
