Novena-Chanel Davies offers straightforward support for people facing relationship strain, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She greets new clients with a calm, practical manner and aims to help them take the first steps toward clearer thinking and steadier feelings. She draws on 13 years of experience working in counselling and related roles.

Her BACP credential is listed as BACP. She uses a blend of approaches and chooses methods to match each person’s needs rather than following one fixed model.

Background and approach

In sessions she helps people spot repeating patterns from their past and how these affect present relationships. She works with attachment concerns, abandonment wounds, and family of origin problems. Practical planning and small, manageable changes are part of the work alongside talking through emotions and memories.

Novena-Chanel also supports people dealing with autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, isolation, multicultural concerns, and questions about sexuality and women's issues. She aims to help clients build self-love, forgiveness, and clearer life purpose while reducing unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

Her background includes teaching and supervising other counsellors, plus public-facing roles writing and speaking about childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, race and identity, and family trauma. That experience informs a thoughtful, informed approach in therapy. Sessions are tailored and reviewed regularly.

The focus is on collaborative planning so the work fits each person's goals and day-to-day life rather than on rigid techniques.

Working with attachment and practical therapies online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional reactions. It helps people who feel stuck in repeating patterns of closeness and distance by exploring attachment styles and building different ways of relating.

Client-centred work puts the person's experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the client find their own answers, which suits people who need space to make sense of feelings and life choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to try. Sessions often mix conversational, reflective work with practical steps so the plan fits everyday life.

Online formats offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and read expressions, phone sessions can work when a steadier connection or less bandwidth is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging suits short check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel while keeping continuity of care.
