About Aruna
Aruna Ramkalowon offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, grief, anxiety or problems at work. She welcomes those struggling with self-esteem, motivation, relationship and intimacy concerns, and those facing caregiving or ageing-related stress. Aruna writes simply and listens closely to what matters most to each person.
She uses a blend of approaches to shape sessions around the individual's needs. That can mean exploring thoughts and behaviours with cognitive behavioural techniques, sitting with deeper emotional material through psychodynamic or Jungian ideas, or practising mindful ways to reduce everyday tension.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aim to leave the client with concrete next steps. Aruna has six years of professional experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She tailors pace and focus so work feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
People often come for single issues or when several stresses build up together. Practical concerns such as parenting pressures, workplace stress, hoarding and end-of-life matters are all areas she supports. She also addresses compassion fatigue and the struggles of young adults finding direction.
Cultural background and identity are part of how she understands each person's story. Sessions may include goal-setting, skill practice and reflective conversation. The aim is to help people notice what is getting in the way, try different responses, and build steadier coping over time.
Aruna encourages small, realistic steps that fit everyday life.

How Aruna’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on what matters to the person in front of her. Aruna offers a listening, non-judgemental space where the client’s priorities guide each session and goals are set together. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and measurable stressors.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Aruna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first and will adapt the plan as progress is made. This means clients are involved in choosing what feels most helpful based on their needs and preferences.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter exchanges, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing helps someone express themselves. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or changing routines, while still maintaining regular therapeutic contact with a registered professional.
