Dorothi Oviosu, BACP

Dorothi Oviosu is an integrative counsellor with nine years of professional experience working within the BACP ethical framework. She combines approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, person-centred work, and transactional analysis to tailor support to each person’s needs. Dorothi has supported people from diverse backgrounds through concerns including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, relationship breakups, family matters, abuse, and other life stresses. She uses a variety of practical tools to help clients explore their experiences, including life graphs, Russian dolls, blob family exercises, stress balls, and sand work.

Dorothi aims to create a warm, open, and honest therapeutic space where individuals can be heard and begin to map their journey. She emphasises non-judgemental presence, congruence, and respect for client autonomy so people can identify starting points and see progress over time. For Dorothi, stepping into therapy takes courage, and she offers collaborative support to help clients regain a sense of agency and move toward the life changes they want to make. She practices in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) standards and adapts methods to suit each client’s situation and goals.

Attachment, Client-Centred, and CBT Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping people understand how past connections shape current feelings and interactions. It can be useful for worries about abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relationship conflicts.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, emphasising empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for growth. This approach supports people facing life transitions, low self-esteem, and challenges that benefit from a trusting, collaborative relationship.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical coping skills to change routines that maintain distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dorothi works collaboratively with clients to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting techniques over time so the work fits the individual’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, allow access from different locations, and support ongoing continuity of care with registered professionals and therapists.
