Noreen Mukalazi, BACP

Noreen Mukalazi is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood and those coping with trauma, abuse or bereavement. Noreen aims to make the first step less daunting and to offer steady support as people take steps towards change.

Noreen creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. She focuses on listening carefully and helping people identify small, practical steps that feel manageable. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's needs rather than rushed.

Her work covers anger, motivation and issues with self‑esteem and confidence alongside depression and grief. Noreen uses approaches that are evidence based and tailored to each person rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all method. She will discuss options and agree a plan that fits the client's goals.

People come to Noreen when daily pressures feel too much, when past hurt keeps coming back, or when loss makes moving forward difficult. The emphasis is on building coping skills and noticing progress, however small. Noreen aims to empower clients to increase their resilience and make clearer decisions about next steps.

She accepts clients from the UK and internationally and works by video, phone, live chat and text messaging. Practical matters such as session length and frequency are agreed together at the start of the work.

How therapeutic approaches meet online care

Many counsellors use evidence‑based techniques that help people make small changes and feel steadier day to day. One common technique focuses on building coping skills and practical routines to reduce stress and manage anxiety; this involves identifying triggers and practising simple steps to interrupt worry. Another helpful approach uses trauma‑informed listening and gradual processing so painful memories can be talked through at a pace that feels tolerable; this helps people regain a sense of control after abuse or loss.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how quickly they want to move, then suggest methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process that can change as the client learns what helps most.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging, which make it easier to fit support around busy lives. Video is useful for face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good short check in, live chat suits people who prefer typed interaction, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats offer flexibility while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
