Aruna Ramkalowon offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life right now. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. Her style is warm and respectful, and she aims to make early sessions easy to take.

Aruna uses straightforward conversation to help people find small, workable changes that fit day-to-day life. With six years of professional experience, Aruna brings an integrative approach to sessions. She draws on client-centred work to listen closely to each person's priorities.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. Her practice supports those coping with relationship and intimacy-related struggles, parenting concerns, workplace strain and changes in life direction. She also works with people facing compassion fatigue, addiction issues, ADHD-related challenges and end-of-life or caregiving stress.

Sessions are adapted to the person in front of her. Aruna will agree goals together and review progress at a pace that feels manageable. She explains ideas plainly and suggests practical exercises to use between meetings.

Aruna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She carries out video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging from the United Kingdom. Conversations are held in English and international clients are not accepted.

How Aruna’s approaches work online

Aruna combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural ideas to help online clients. Client-centred work means the conversation starts with what matters most to the person. It helps clarify priorities and builds a trusting working relationship. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and offers practical steps to test different ways of thinking and behaving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aruna will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those aims. She treats the choice as a collaboration and checks in to see what helps and what does not, adjusting the plan as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls suit longer, face-to-face style sessions and clearer non-verbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and written reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to arrange care around work, family and daily life while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
