Oriana Wallace-Johnson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation and focuses on helping people who are struggling to cope. She greets new clients with a straightforward, non-judgemental approach and encourages small first steps into therapy.

Oriana creates a calm space where clients can talk about stress, anxiety, low mood and trauma. She also helps people with self-esteem, motivation and confidence.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to let thoughts and feelings be heard without pressure or blame. Her work covers common life challenges such as relationship strain, grief, sleep problems and career worries. She also supports people facing infertility concerns, chronic illness or pain, and difficult emotions like guilt, jealousy or emptiness.

Practical, everyday problems such as money stress and parenting strain are part of her caseload too. Oriana uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person’s experience and goals. That means listening carefully and following the person’s lead when deciding what to work on.

Over time she helps clients build clearer perspectives and small coping steps that fit their daily lives. Sessions are offered in English and can take place online by video or phone, or through live chat and text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than on a set technique. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people find their own answers. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and coping with life changes because it follows the client’s pace and priorities.

Working out the right approach is part of the therapy. The counsellor will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and adapt sessions to their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where goals and methods are reviewed together as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video sessions let people see facial cues and use a face-to-face style of talking. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or better when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text options suit people who prefer writing, need brief updates, or want a lower-key way to connect between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and day-to-day life.
