Novena-Chanel Davies, BACP

Novena-Chanel Davies (No-ve-na-Cha-nel) is a registered integrative counsellor who combines clinical practice with education, supervision and public engagement. She works as a counselling supervisor and lecturer, and also practices as a life coach, Reiki master and yoga teacher. Alongside her therapeutic work she contributes as a media consultant, writer and public speaker on topics including childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, race and identity, epigenetics and family trauma, and mental health and self-care.

She is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on a wide range of training including person-centred, psychodynamic, intercultural, cognitive behavioural and attachment-informed approaches. This integrative background allows her to work relationally and holistically, helping clients and families recognise and begin to heal difficult patterns that can affect relationships and wellbeing.

Novena-Chanel supports people in challenging negative thought patterns and circumstances, and often focuses on breaking unhealthy generational cycles. She works collaboratively to create tailored therapy plans and regular reviews, matching therapeutic methods to each person’s needs and personality. Her aim is to empower clients to realise their potential while building practical foundations to sustain therapeutic gains long after formal sessions end.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection patterns. It explores attachment styles and helps people understand and work through difficulties with trust, closeness and abandonment that affect relationships and self-image.

Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the centre of the work, offering empathetic, non-directive support to help people explore feelings, build self-worth and find their own solutions. It is especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and relational concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, mood challenges and coping with stressful life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Novena-Chanel works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. Registered professionals will adapt techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to include family members when appropriate, and to receive consistent support across distances, while allowing therapists to use a range of approaches tailored to each client.
