About Doris

Doris Badu is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low self-esteem and depression. She also pays attention to cultural and ethnic influences on people’s lives.

Her work starts with listening to each person’s story and recognising the strengths they already have. She believes lived experience shapes how people respond to life, and she helps clients use their resources to move forward.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and user-focused, aimed at small changes that add up over time. Doris pays particular attention to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, communication problems and control issues. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, midlife transitions, post-traumatic stress and workplace stress.

These themes often appear alongside anxiety or low mood and are addressed together in sessions. She values a respectful and collaborative approach where the client sets goals and pace. The therapist offers encouragement and helps clients try new ways of thinking and behaving between sessions.

Progress is reviewed regularly so the work stays relevant to the person’s life. Doris welcomes conversations about culture and identity and how these shape daily pressures. She works in English and can support people living outside the UK.

Practical online session formats include video, phone, live chat and text messaging.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Doris lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Many clients benefit from clear, evidence-based techniques that focus on what is happening now and what can change. One common approach looks at thought patterns and how they influence feelings and actions, helping people try out different ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another useful method focuses on relationships and attachment, helping people understand their patterns with others and practice new ways of relating when communication or abandonment worries are present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to keep it practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy lives or limited options for in-person care. Video calls let conversations feel more face to face, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or video feels too much. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, and flexibility to fit around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to make therapy more accessible and to match the way each person prefers to engage.
