Dorothi Oviosu, BACP

Dorothi Oviosu is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and a wide range of other worries. She also supports people dealing with intimacy issues, eating and food-related problems, parenting pressures, anger, low self-esteem, career shifts, ADHD and life changes. Dorothi works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and brings nine years of practice to her work.

She describes her style as warm, open and honest. Sessions aim to give people time to be heard and to look at patterns that repeat in everyday thoughts and habits. Dorothi uses practical exercises and simple tools in sessions, such as life graphs, sand work and visual family exercises, to help people see things differently and to map out their next steps.

Dorothi draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at connection and relationship patterns. She offers client-centred listening that puts the person’s experience at the core. Cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness skills are used to address unhelpful thinking and reduce stress.

Her practice aims to help people build clearer ways of coping and to regain a sense of control. Dorothi encourages autonomy and collaboration, so people shape the goals they want to reach. She believes small changes in everyday habits and thinking can make a noticeable difference over time.

Sessions are conducted in English and she works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. To begin, people follow the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a session according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early connections shape current relationships. Online conversations can help spot repeating patterns in how people relate and respond in close relationships. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says. That approach helps people feel heard and identify their own priorities while working through everyday thoughts and habits and emotional struggles.

Choosing the right approach is often part of the early process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, needs and preferences and agree on a plan together. This collaborative way makes it easier to try techniques and then adjust them if they do not fit.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm what is currently offered before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins around a break, and let people join from a quieter place without needing a commute. Registered or accredited professionals can use a range of therapeutic tasks and practical exercises in remote sessions, including life graphs and guided mindfulness, to support change in everyday thinking and habits.
