Dorothi Oviosu , BACP

Dorothi Oviosu is an integrative counsellor with nine years of professional experience who draws on a blend of therapeutic methods to support people through difficult transitions and emotional struggles. She combines cognitive behavioural techniques, client-centred principles, and elements of transactional analysis to tailor sessions to each person’s needs, working within the ethical framework of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Dorothi has supported individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, eating difficulties, family matters, relationship breakups, and experiences of abuse. She adapts practical tools - such as life graphs, Russian dolls, blob family exercises, stress balls, and sand work - to help people explore patterns, express feelings, and develop clearer perspectives on their lives.

Warmth, openness, and honesty guide Dorothi’s approach. She aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and can begin to map out a way forward. Emphasising non-judgement, autonomy, and genuine connection, she works collaboratively so that each person can identify starting points, notice progress, and reclaim a greater sense of agency in their life.

Approaches for online care and therapeutic work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relational patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. It helps people explore attachment needs and develop more secure ways of relating to partners, family members, and themselves. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy, unconditional positive regard, and listening - creating a non-directive space where individuals can explore their feelings and gain clarity about their values and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to practice new coping skills; it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dorothi works collaboratively to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to tailor sessions so techniques fit the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Dorothi is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or while travelling, and choose the mode of communication that feels most helpful for each stage of the work.
