About Ornella
Counsellor Ornella Tohme is a BACP member with eight years' experience working with stress, anxiety, relationships, family matters, trauma and abuse, depression and related concerns. She offers sessions in English, Arabic and French and accepts international clients while practising from the United Kingdom.
Ornella works from a client-centred approach. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person sitting in front of her. She listens for priorities and helps people name practical next steps rather than applying one fixed method.
Her background includes extended work supporting people dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, grief and problems with intimacy. She also has experience with addictions, anger and career-related pressure, and with coping through major life changes. These areas often overlap, and she helps people untangle them in straightforward ways.
Sessions aim to be conversational and grounded. Ornella adapts the rhythm and topics to what each person brings. She explains her role as a counsellor and what to expect during the first meetings, so people can judge whether the approach feels right.
Practical arrangements, including session cost, run through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients use the site's matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Ornella supports consultations in English, Arabic and French and works with clients based in the UK and internationally.
Client-centred counselling and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without steering and helps people find their own solutions, which can suit issues like anxiety, relationship strain and grief.The focus is on clear conversation rather than on structured techniques. That makes it useful when someone needs to talk through family problems, trauma, or life changes and decide practical next steps. The approach supports work on emotions, relationships and daily coping rather than offering diagnostic labels.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Ornella will discuss what feels helpful and adapt her style in collaboration with each client. Goals, personal needs and how someone prefers to meet are all considered when planning sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and make it easier to have shorter check-ins or regular longer sessions depending on what suits day-to-day life. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain consistency with their counselling.
