About Gifty
Gifty Ogene is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 12 years of experience supporting people through emotional challenges. She works with individuals and couples, aiming to build a respectful, non-judgemental relationship that honours each person's culture and beliefs. Gifty holds NCPS and draws on a mix of practical approaches to help people move forward.
Her work includes supporting people with grief after a bereavement, including those bereaved when a loved one died in hospice care. She helps clients manage shock, loss, disorganisation and the slow process of reorganisation and recovery after a death.
Gifty also supports couples who are dealing with conflict, communication breakdown, infidelity, money issues and struggles to forgive. She helps people identify patterns that get in the way of clearer communication and rebuilding trust.
Many clients come for help with anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship strain and life changes. Gifty uses a person-centred way of working to create a space where clients can feel heard and begin to grow. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to help spot how past patterns influence current relationships.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills. Across sessions she aims to keep boundaries clear, remain non-judgemental and tailor each plan to the person's goals and circumstances.
How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of relating. Client-centred work is about listening closely and offering a non-judgemental space so clients can find their own solutions; it supports personal growth and clarity. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful thinking.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will listen to your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest which approaches to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as work progresses.
If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Ask which formats the therapist currently offers and how sessions are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from different locations when international work is arranged. Registered or accredited professionals can help you find a practical rhythm that fits everyday life.
