About Gifty
Counsellor and psychotherapist Gifty Ogene is registered with NCPS and has 12 years of experience supporting people in the United Kingdom. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, addictions and parenting strain. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Gifty has private sector experience and has spent significant time supporting bereaved relatives, carers and friends after deaths in hospice care. She helps people who are finding it hard to cope with loss, working through shock, disorganisation and the task of reordering life after bereavement.
She also has experience supporting people with relationship difficulties. This includes help with communication problems, infidelity, unforgiveness and financial tensions. Gifty describes work with couples in terms of addressing conflict patterns and improving how partners talk about their needs.
Her practice draws on three main approaches. Client-Centred work (also called Person-Centred) provides the basis for how she meets people in session. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at past patterns that repeat in present relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps challenge ways of thinking that get in the way of change.
In sessions she aims to maintain clear professional boundaries and a non-judgemental stance. People who come to her can expect practical conversations about feelings, thoughts and relationships. Booking begins with an online matching form and a first session to agree goals and next steps.
How her approaches are used in online counselling
Gifty commonly works with Client-Centred methods, psychodynamic ideas and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Client-Centred work focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings, helping them talk about issues and decide what to address. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from the past that may repeat in present relationships and help explain why certain behaviours persist. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and practical behavioural steps to test and change those thoughts and their effects.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as sessions progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow for flexible session times. It can also allow brief check-ins when a full in-person meeting would be difficult. Ask about format details and how they could fit your routine before scheduling.
