Gifty Ogene is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She brings 12 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, grief and relationship problems using a range of practical approaches. Gifty works with each person as an individual and aims to create a non-judgemental space for honest conversation.

Her background includes supporting bereaved relatives, carers and friends who struggled after a loved one died in hospice care.

Background and approach

She has spent significant time helping people process loss, shock and the disorientation that follows bereavement. Gifty also has experience supporting people with addictions, compassion fatigue and career-related stress. Gifty offers work with relationships and intimacy.

She has supported couples with communication problems, infidelity, money disagreements and issues around trust and commitment. She helps individuals looking to understand how past patterns affect present relationships. Her approach blends client-centred ways of working with psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques.

That means she listens without judgement, explores how earlier experiences shape current behaviour, and uses practical steps to challenge unhelpful thinking. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. Gifty speaks English and works with people from different cultural backgrounds.

She is registered with NCPS and has practised across personal-sector settings. Practical counselling and longer-term psychotherapy are both offered depending on what the person feels will help most. People typically start by sharing what matters most to them and then build a plan together.

Gifty aims to keep work clear, respectful and focused on achievable change.

How her approaches work online

Gifty uses client-centred therapy to create a warm, accepting atmosphere where the person sets the pace and topics. That approach helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and make their own choices about change.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change worrying patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stressful life events.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then agree on a way forward that blends techniques as needed. This helps make sure the sessions match the person’s needs and comfort level.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter updates, messaging between sessions or when someone prefers writing to speaking. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to fit therapy into work, family life or other routines.
