About Chanel
Counsellor Chanel Muharrem is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) with four years' experience. She practises in the United Kingdom and works with people facing anxiety, low mood, relationship and work-related problems, grief and life transitions.
Chanel uses a Client-Centred approach. She puts the person at the centre of each session and lets them set the pace and agenda. Sessions focus on what the client wants to talk about and on making sense of feelings and choices.
Her background includes supporting people in high-pressure corporate roles and in academic settings. That experience informs how she listens to stress related to work and study and practical pressures that come with professional life.
Chanel has worked with Mind as a bereavement counsellor and with people dealing with anxiety and depression. She has also worked in private practice. These roles have involved helping people think through grief, relationship problems, confidence and coping with change.
In sessions she aims to help clients notice patterns, consider options and make decisions that suit them. People are encouraged to move at their own speed and to set the topics they want to address. The focus is on practical conversation and reflection rather than on labels or diagnoses.
If someone is unsure whether counselling could help, Chanel suggests a first meeting to see how talking feels and to agree what to work on next.
Client-Centred work and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own priorities. The counsellor listens and reflects back what the client says, helping them find their own solutions. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and grief because it keeps attention on what matters most to the client.Chanel's background supporting people in corporate and academic roles means she often uses practical conversation to address stress, work pressures and life transitions. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, try out different ways of coping and make choices that fit their lives. The therapist and client work together to decide which methods feel most useful and how to proceed.
If you are considering online counselling, check the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the basic biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins, not needing to be on camera, or quieter surroundings that suit the individual. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss which format suits your needs and preferences during the matching and booking process.
