Gifty Ogene, NCPS

Gifty Ogene is a registered counsellor and psychotherapist with NCPS, a professional registration that indicates she meets recognised standards in counselling and psychotherapy. She works with both individuals and couples, bringing private sector experience and a consistently non-judgemental approach that respects each client’s culture and beliefs.

Over a career spanning more than a decade, she has provided specialist support to bereaved relatives, carers and friends of people who died in hospice care, helping them navigate stages of loss, shock, disorganization, reorganization and recovery. She has also worked extensively with anxiety, depression and a range of relationship difficulties, tailoring interventions to the needs presented.

Gifty has particular experience with couples, supporting partners through conflicts, communication breakdowns, infidelity, unforgiveness and financial tensions. Her practice draws on client-centered (person-centred) therapy to build a trusting therapeutic relationship, psychodynamic ideas to explore how past patterns influence the present, and cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop practical coping strategies. She maintains clear professional boundaries and a supportive, non-judgemental stance to promote growth and change.

Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care

Gifty Ogene uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions - this approach is helpful for building trust, exploring personal values and encouraging self-directed growth. She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and to develop practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood and stressful life situations. Attachment-based ideas inform her work with relationship and intimacy issues - this perspective helps clients understand how early connection patterns influence current partnerships and emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be explored collaboratively. Gifty and the client work together to identify goals, preferences and the strategies most likely to support change, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Gifty is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing flexible scheduling around work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier for people who live at a distance or have limited availability to access registered professionals and therapists, while preserving continuity of care and the opportunity to work consistently toward their goals.
