She works in a respectful and compassionate way, helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about their next steps.

Ways of working Ornella names

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.

Person-centred care adapted for online sessions

Ornella uses person-centred therapy which places the person's feelings and choices at the centre of each session. This approach involves active listening, reflective questioning and following the client’s pace. It is useful for anxiety, depression, relationship worries and coping with life changes because it helps people clarify what matters to them and make their own decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ornella will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and help decide whether person-centred methods should remain central or be combined with other supportive techniques. The conversation about what helps is collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit longer, conversational sessions that benefit from face-to-face contact. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow flexible, brief exchanges that fit around busy days. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
