Onon Perenlei, BACP

Onon Perenlei offers a warm, person-centred approach that helps people make sense of stress, anxiety, grief and changes in life. She uses familiar, down-to-earth language and focuses on what matters to each person. Onon presents as calm and thoughtful and aims to make sessions simple and practical.

She brings three years of practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses as a foundation for ethical care. Sessions draw on client-centred work to follow what the person brings, and on mindfulness to build short, usable skills for managing difficult moments.

Onon also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past that affect present feeling and behaviour. Trauma-focused methods are included when past events are getting in the way of day-to-day functioning. Existential conversations sit alongside these approaches when people want to talk about meaning, purpose and identity.

Her focus areas include stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. Additional interests cover attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiving stress, codependency, communication problems and challenges linked to autism and Asperger syndrome.

Sessions are offered in English and Mongolian. People connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, a person follows the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person's lead and building a trusting, respectful relationship. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions, which can suit conversations about stress, anxiety and low self-esteem.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce overwhelm and handle strong emotions. These short skills are easy to practise between sessions and can be guided in video or phone appointments to reinforce day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try approaches collaboratively. That means adapting methods over time if something does not fit or if priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins and text messaging supports shorter or ongoing contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or busy days while keeping the focus on practical progress.
