About Noya
Noya Hoffman is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of practice. She works with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, stress and related concerns such as anger, self-esteem and workplace difficulties. Noya focuses on practical short-term therapy and helps clients set clear, manageable goals.
She collaborates with clients to build a shared understanding of what is happening and to agree on a working plan. That often means creating a simple formulation together, then choosing techniques that suit the person's priorities. Noya combines psychodynamic ideas with cognitive behavioural methods and other approaches to match each client's situation.
Sessions are described as focused and goal-oriented. Noya aims to help people spot patterns that keep problems going and to practice different ways of responding. She uses evidence-based interventions alongside conversations about life events and relationships.
Her practice works with a wide range of concerns including bipolar mood issues, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with career stress, relationship strain and the emotional impact of life changes.
Noya offers a collaborative working style. She encourages clients to bring what matters most into sessions and to test small changes between meetings. The emphasis is on clear aims, practical steps and reviewing progress as therapy goes on.
How her approaches translate to online work
Noya uses a mix of cognitive behavioural therapy and client-centred ideas in her practice. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce distress, which can be useful for anger, anxiety and mood problems. Client-centred approaches prioritise the person's perspective and help the therapist and client build a straightforward plan together.She also draws on psychodynamic thinking to notice repeated patterns from past relationships and how they appear now. That can be helpful for people who want to understand why certain reactions keep coming up. Deciding which approach to use is a joint process and she will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats 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. Many people find it simpler to try conversational and skills-based work remotely while deciding how to continue face to face if desired. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical scheduling and what a first online meeting will cover.
