About Aruna

Aruna Ramkalowon welcomes people looking for steady, practical support during hard times. She aims to create a calm space for talking through stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Aruna keeps language simple and meetings focused so a short conversation can lead to useful changes.

Aruna has six years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

How Aruna works

She draws on multiple counselling methods and adapts sessions to fit each person's needs rather than using one fixed approach. Sessions typically centre on what matters most to the person in front of her. That might mean learning ways to manage anxiety, making decisions about career or parenting, or finding ways to cope with grief and loss.

She also supports people dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, hoarding, and issues that come up in later life. Aruna uses practical exercises alongside reflective conversation. She offers strategies from cognitive behavioural ideas and encourages mindful awareness in daily life.

At the same time she pays attention to personal history and deeper patterns that shape relationships and self-esteem. People can expect a warm, respectful tone and a plan tailored to their situation. Meetings are aimed at small, manageable goals and clearer next steps.

Aruna hopes to make starting counselling feel less daunting and to help people move forward with more confidence.

Online support options

How Aruna’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the person’s pace. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to find their own solutions rather than being told what to do.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It often uses short exercises and practical strategies to reduce anxiety, shift low mood and change unhelpful patterns.

Psychodynamic work pays attention to recurring patterns and early influences that shape how people relate to themselves and others. It can help when someone wants to understand deeper reasons behind repeated difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Aruna will discuss goals and preferences and together choose or blend methods that best suit the person’s needs. That way sessions stay collaborative and focused on outcomes that matter.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions need less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility for morning, lunch-time or evening appointments and let people choose what feels most comfortable for them.
