Dorothi Oviosu , BACP

Dorothi Oviosu is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She supports people facing trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, eating and intimacy-related issues, and works with those navigating parenting, career change and ADHD. Dorothi practices in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

Dorothi draws on nine years of experience and follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. She uses practical, hands-on tools in sessions, such as life graphs, sand work and simple stress-relief exercises. This makes conversations feel grounded and easier to follow.

Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and begin to make sense of difficult patterns. Dorothi encourages autonomy so clients can decide the pace and direction of their work.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long explanations. She combines talking with activities that help people see their situation differently. This can make emotions and relationships feel less overwhelming.

Dorothi also works on attachment and communication patterns that often underlie relationship and family struggles. She uses elements of cognitive work and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful thoughts and handle strong feelings. The goal is to build practical skills that fit each person’s life.

People who begin with Dorothi typically talk through current problems, try small experiments between sessions, and track progress in simple ways. Her style is direct but compassionate, aimed at helping people regain a sense of control and move forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions use talking and reflective exercises to identify patterns in closeness, abandonment fears and trust. This approach can help with relationship difficulties and attachment issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online sessions Dorothi uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments between meetings. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dorothi discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods as work progresses. Together they choose what feels most useful, combining attachment insights, cognitive tools and mindfulness where helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and joint exercises, while phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins and on-the-go reflection easier, and can fit around work or caring responsibilities. Registered professionals provide the sessions, and the range of formats helps people access support in a way that fits their life.
