About Chanel
Chanel Muharrem uses a Client-Centred approach to keep the person at the heart of therapy. She encourages people to set the pace and choose topics that matter to them. Chanel aims to help clients gain clarity and feel more able to cope with difficult situations.
She works with people facing anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem. Relationship concerns, intimacy issues and grief feature in her practice. She also supports people dealing with work stress, life transitions and compassion fatigue.
How Chanel works
Chanel previously worked in the City with professionals under high pressure and later supported students and staff in an academic setting. Those roles sharpened her understanding of workplace and study-related stress and how it affects wellbeing. Her counselling background includes work with Mind as a bereavement counsellor and supporting people with anxiety and depression.
Chanel is registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and she provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Chanel aims to help people discover practical next steps and to support gradual change.
She invites people who feel overwhelmed, stuck or unsure about therapy to take a small step and explore whether counselling might help. Chanel listens without judgement and offers a steady, respectful space to talk through what matters most.

Online support options
Client-centred care online and practical support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the counsellor. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is heard and follows the person's lead. This approach helps when someone is unsure where to start, is struggling with low self-esteem, or needs a calm place to work through grief or relationship problems.Chanel will work collaboratively to find the right way forward. Together they will consider goals, preferences and what feels most useful in sessions. Finding the best approach is part of the process and may be adjusted over time based on what works for the person.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face discussion when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be less demanding if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, shorter reflections, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options help people access support around work and family commitments or when travel is difficult.
