About Noya
Noya Hoffman is a counsellor with ten years of experience supporting people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression and stress. She works with individuals from diverse backgrounds and offers practical short-term therapy to help them find steadier ground. Sessions focus on setting clear goals and finding steps that fit each person’s life.
She believes therapy should be shaped around the person sitting in the room. Noya collaborates to build simple formulations and to choose techniques that match a client's needs.
Background and approach
She draws on a mix of psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural methods to tackle patterns that keep causing distress. Noya uses evidence-based interventions alongside a compassionate, non-judgemental stance. That combination aims to help people feel heard while learning new ways to cope with problems such as low self-esteem, panic attacks, mood swings and workplace stress.
She also supports people facing trauma, relationship strain, eating problems and the challenges of young adulthood. Her practice highlights practical skills as well as exploring underlying feelings. Sessions can include goal-setting, behavioural experiments and reflective discussion about life history.
The overall aim is to help people build tools they can use outside sessions and to make small, steady changes. Noya is registered with the BACP, works in the United Kingdom, and runs online sessions in English. She encourages an open, collaborative approach so clients can shape therapy around their priorities.

How Noya’s approaches translate to online therapy
Noya uses cognitive behavioural therapy and client-centred approaches that adapt well to remote sessions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing out small behavioural changes, which suits video or phone sessions where homework and guided exercises are set between meetings. Client-centred therapy emphasises listening and building rapport, which helps people feel understood even when talking by text or chat.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Noya will work with each person to agree goals and decide which methods to try first. That means trying practical techniques, reviewing how they work and adjusting the plan if something feels unhelpful or needs more exploration.
Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break, while live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer to write. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family obligations and daily routines, and they give different ways to keep building skills between sessions.
