About Oriana
Oriana Wallace-Johnson is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, motivation difficulties, and relationship concerns. Sessions are presented in English and aimed at adults in the UK.
Her approach centres on Client-Centred Therapy. That means she listens without rushing and follows what each person brings to the room. Conversations focus on the client’s experience rather than on labels or quick fixes. She aims to help people speak about painful thoughts and feelings and to make sense of them at a manageable pace.
Oriana has worked with a broad range of issues including grief, intimacy-related problems, sleeping difficulties, parenting pressures and career concerns. She also offers support around abandonment, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, domestic violence, fertility challenges and issues such as guilt, shame and isolation. She will attend to mood disorders and obsessive-compulsive difficulties as part of her practice.
Sessions typically involve talking, reflecting and developing small, practical steps that suit the individual. Oriana encourages clear, direct conversation about what is and isn’t helpful. She asks about goals and checks in on progress as therapy continues.
To begin, people use the service's matching and booking process and schedule a first appointment. The counsellor works with clients to set the pace and decide how to focus sessions with ongoing review.
How her client-centred approach works online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s concerns. The counsellor reflects what she hears and helps the person make sense of thoughts and feelings. This approach can suit people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues and the aftermath of abuse.Working together, the counsellor and client choose what feels most useful. Oriana will check goals, review progress and adjust how she works as the relationship develops. The fit between method and person is treated as something to find together rather than a fixed promise.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow meetings from a familiar spot. It can also allow shorter check-ins at lunchtime or weekend times that suit someone’s routine. Registered or accredited professionals will help plan the practical arrangements and suggest how to make sessions work alongside everyday life.
