About Gifty
Gifty Ogene is a registered counsellor and psychotherapist (NCPS) with 12 years of experience in the private sector in the United Kingdom. She supports adults with a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and anger. She works with people who are managing relationship strain, parenting pressures, career change and trauma-related concerns.
She has particular experience supporting bereaved relatives, carers and friends after a death in hospice care. That work has involved helping people move through shock, loss and the practical steps of reorganisation after grief. She also has experience working with couples on communication, infidelity, unforgiveness and money disagreements.
Her practice combines several clinical approaches. She uses a client-centred, or person-centred, stance to build a trusting relationship and attend to each person’s culture and beliefs. Psychodynamic work is used to uncover how past patterns affect present relationships and communication. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is employed to identify and challenge thinking that gets in the way of change.
Sessions focus on listening, clarifying what matters to the person and finding practical ways forward. She aims to be non-judgemental and maintain professional boundaries. The therapeutic work can include short-term practical strategies and deeper exploration of recurring patterns that keep causing problems.
People considering work with her are invited to think about what they want to change, whether that is managing anger, improving communication, handling grief or coping with life transitions. To begin, the site’s matching steps are used to schedule a first appointment and explore fit.
How her approaches translate to online work
Her practice draws on client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people decide what to explore, which suits conversations about anger, grief and relationship strain. CBT targets thought patterns and teaches practical coping skills for stress, anxiety and unhelpful reactions.She also uses psychodynamic concepts to help people see how past experiences shape current behaviour and relationships. That kind of reflection can help when anger or repeated conflicts keep happening. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist will work with the person to match methods to their goals and preferences rather than imposing a single way of working.
The profile did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to work with someone in the United Kingdom while being located abroad, since international clients are accepted. If scheduling or practical needs matter, raise them at the first meeting to find an arrangement that suits everyday life.
