Allegra Wassef works from a client-centred approach that places the person's perspective at the heart of therapy. She offers a warm, accepting presence and helps people talk through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Allegra has three years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Allegra focuses on practical, day-to-day concerns as well as deeper life questions. She supports people coping with life changes and relationship worries, and she can help when feelings of isolation or low self-worth get in the way of everyday life.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues connected to body image, sexuality and women's health, including pregnancy and childbirth. Sessions aim to be collaborative and down to earth. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what she hears and helps people identify small, manageable steps forward.

Conversations might include noticing unhelpful patterns, building self-compassion, and practising new ways of relating to others and to oneself. Allegra offers a flexible, person-focused way of working rather than pushing a single technique. She adapts the conversation to what a person needs in the moment, and to their goals over time.

That makes therapy useful for short-term problem solving and for longer personal growth. People work with Allegra online using a mix of video, phone and messaging options. The first steps are simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and choose a time that suits you.

How client-centred therapy works online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience and on building a trusting therapeutic relationship. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what they hear and helps the person make sense of their thoughts and feelings. This approach is often useful for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and emotional challenges linked to relationships or life changes.

Allegra's way of working is collaborative. She will check in about what is and isn't helping and together they will decide which methods to try. Finding the right approach is a joint process and may shift as goals and needs change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing or need ongoing, brief contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
