Dorothi Oviosu, BACP

Dorothi Oviosu helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship challenges. She also supports concerns such as addictions, eating and intimacy issues, grief, self‑esteem, parenting pressures, ADHD and career changes. Dorothi works from the United Kingdom and brings nine years of experience to her practice. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to make sessions feel like a calm, steady conversation where people can be heard without judgement. Dorothi uses practical tools in sessions - simple exercises, visual maps and hands‑on activities - to help people see patterns and make changes that fit their lives. Dorothi combines attachment‑based ideas with client‑centred care and cognitive approaches. That means she pays attention to how early relationships shape current feelings, listens closely to each person’s story, and helps identify thought patterns that keep difficulties stuck. She can also draw on skills from dialectical behaviour therapy and mindfulness to teach emotion regulation and grounding techniques. In therapy she focuses on small, manageable steps. Sessions aim to build greater self‑awareness, clearer communication and healthier coping strategies. Practical homework and brief exercises are often used between meetings to keep progress moving. People who come to Dorothi are offered collaborative planning at the start. The plan is adjusted as needed so work stays relevant to goals and life changes. Her approach suits people who want a direct, compassionate counsellor and tools they can use outside sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and develop safer ways to connect and communicate. Client‑centred therapy focuses on being listened to with warmth and acceptance so people can find their own solutions at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and replace them with practical strategies to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Dorothi will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the plan as therapy progresses. Together they set goals, try techniques in session and adjust methods based on what works for the individual.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text‑based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual tools, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check‑ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel while still practising techniques between sessions.
