About Oriana

Oriana Wallace-Johnson is a counsellor who has worked in the United Kingdom for four years and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She focuses on making the first step into therapy straightforward for people who feel nervous or unsure. Her tone is warm and encouraging, and she aims to make sessions approachable and non-judgemental.

She creates space for clients to say what they are feeling and thinking.

Background and approach

Sessions are usually conversational and guided by what the person brings. The goal is to help people notice patterns, build small coping steps, and find practical ways to manage day-to-day strain. Oriana uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person's experience at the heart of the session.

That means listening closely and adjusting the pace to what the individual needs. This approach is well suited to anxiety, low mood, stress and issues around self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, grief, sleep problems and major life changes.

Additional areas she pays attention to include chronic pain and illness, fertility concerns, feelings of emptiness, and problems with jealousy or infidelity. Sessions focus on what is happening now and how to take next steps. Work with Oriana often involves setting small, achievable goals, practising clearer communication, and building routines that help with sleep and mood.

Conversations are kept straightforward. She encourages people to move at a pace they find manageable and to bring whatever feels most urgent into the room.

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How client-centred therapy works online

Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience first and helps them feel heard. The therapist offers non-judgemental listening and reflects back what is said to help clarify feelings and choices. This approach is useful for issues such as anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

In practice, sessions are guided by the client. The counsellor follows the person’s lead and adjusts the pace to what feels comfortable. Together they work out small steps and practical ways to manage day-to-day problems, such as improving sleep routines or practising clearer communication in relationships.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Oriana will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That conversation helps decide whether to keep using a client-centred approach or to try other techniques that suit the individual.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are close to an in-person conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can be useful for shorter check-ins or when people prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs, and give choices about how to take part.
