Gifty Ogene, NCPS

Gifty Ogene is a counsellor and psychotherapist with twelve years of experience supporting people's emotional wellbeing. She holds NCPS as a credential and brings a non-judgemental approach to her work. Gifty pays attention to each person's culture and beliefs and tailors sessions to individual needs.

She has substantial experience supporting bereaved relatives, carers and friends after a death in hospice care, helping people manage loss, shock and the slow process of reorganisation. She also has experience supporting people with anxiety and depression and helping them find practical ways to cope.

Gifty has worked with couples on conflicts, communication problems, infidelity, unforgiveness and money disagreements. Her approach aims to improve how people express needs and understand patterns that affect relationships.

In practice she draws on person-centred methods to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help uncover how past patterns affect present behaviour. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot and challenge unhelpful thinking that holds people back.

Sessions focus on listening and helping people decide what to explore, whether that relates to early years or present-day concerns. The aim is to help people find workable solutions and develop coping strategies they can use day to day.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people notice patterns that affect closeness and trust. It can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment feelings and attachment-related struggles.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and creating space for people to find their own solutions. This approach supports people facing stress, loss or low self-esteem by encouraging reflection and self-direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether attachment ideas, person-centred listening or cognitive techniques suit the situation. That choice can change as therapy progresses and remains collaborative.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, for example by removing travel time, supporting a shorter mid-day check-in, or offering conversation without being on camera. Many people find remote sessions help keep momentum between appointments while focusing on the same therapeutic aims as face-to-face work.
