Deena Ramkhelawon , BACP

Deena Ramkhelawon is a counsellor with 17 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and offers a calm, accepting space for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and the strains of family or parenting life. She aims to help people find clearer thinking and more manageable ways to cope.

Deena uses a mix of practical and reflective approaches. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning coping skills and looking at how past experiences shape present reactions. She takes time to understand each person's background before suggesting possible ways forward.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship problems, career worry, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and compulsive or obsessive behaviours. She also works with mood disorders, panic and phobias.

Deena draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside psychodynamic and client-centred ideas. This lets her blend practical techniques with space to reflect on patterns that repeat across relationships and work life.

People who prefer a warm, non-judgemental approach may find her style helpful. Sessions are available through a variety of online formats, aiming to fit therapy around everyday life and commitments.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Deena uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred ideas to support people online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them while focusing on actions that match personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and can help with recurring patterns in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting conversation so people feel heard and understood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Deena will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit your needs. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adapted over time as problems change or progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers shorter check-ins and messaging lets people write through thoughts between sessions. These options aim to give practical flexibility so therapy can continue around work, family and other commitments.
