About Celestina
Celestina Oniye-Thomas is a counsellor with two decades of experience in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and has spent many years helping people who are dealing with relationship strain, trauma, parenting questions and self-worth issues. She works in a way that aims to be warm, respectful and practical.
Her sessions usually focus on clear goals and everyday steps people can use between meetings. She uses approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and existential ideas are also part of her work when exploring meaning and values. Celestina supports people coping with anxiety, depression, stress and major life changes. She also offers help for concerns around intimacy, eating and anger, and for those managing complicated family histories or caregiving strain.
Sessions include time to talk through recent events and to try out new ways of reacting. Her style is collaborative and practical. She aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs.
Clients can expect straightforward language, reflection and small, doable tasks to try between sessions. People who choose her often want a therapist who balances compassion with clear tools. She welcomes international clients and holds sessions in English.
The intake process guides people through a short questionnaire and scheduling to match needs and availability.

Approaches and practical online therapy options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps in that direction even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers concrete techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours for issues such as anxiety, depression and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as they learn what helps. This is a team effort between counsellor and client.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when a longer conversation is needed. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for regular touchpoints, brief reflections or when typing feels more comfortable. Registered professionals offer these formats so people can pick what suits their routine and needs.
