About Dorothi

Dorothi Oviosu is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and family difficulties. She supports people facing trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, grief, intimacy and self-esteem issues. She also works with people struggling with eating-related concerns, parenting strain, anger, career stress, life changes and ADHD.

Dorothi practices within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - ethical framework and brings nine years of practice to her work.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to offer a calm space where people can be heard without judgement. Sessions focus on honesty, clarity and giving people more control over next steps.

She uses practical tools and simple exercises to help people see patterns and make small changes. Dorothi draws on client-centred ideas to build trust and on attachment-based ways of understanding relationships and patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and dialectical skills for managing strong emotions.

Mindfulness practices are offered to support grounding and stress reduction. In sessions she may use visual tools such as life graphs, sculpting techniques and simple experiential aids to help people talk through difficult topics. Those tools are offered as ways to highlight feelings, relationships and progress over time.

The focus is on practical steps that can be tried between sessions. People who choose Dorothi can expect a collaborative process. She listens, reflects and then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals.

Her approach suits people who want a direct, compassionate counsellor with a range of hands-on techniques and almost a decade of experience.

How Dorothi's approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use discussion and reflective exercises to spot connection styles and repair cycles, which helps with relationship anxiety and attachment wounds.

Client-centred counselling places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is heard and helps people find their own solutions; this approach suits people seeking a compassionate, person-led process.

Cognitive behavioural techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online sessions these techniques include practical exercises, simple experiments and thought records to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and direct access to a therapist from different locations. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins, live chat suits immediate back-and-forth and text messaging lets people reflect in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while still using practical tools and exercises shared in sessions.
