About Deena
Deena Ramkhelawon is a counsellor with 17 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression and helps those coping with relationship and parenting strains. Deena’s practice also supports people dealing with career pressures, life changes and compassion fatigue.
She uses a mix of talking therapies that suit the person in front of her rather than a single formula. Sessions are calm and direct, aimed at helping someone understand what they are feeling and find practical ways to manage it.
How Deena works
Clients can expect a warm and non-judgemental space to talk through worries and difficult emotions. Deena has a broad clinical focus that includes attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, chronic health issues and caregiver stress. She also works with obsessive and compulsive patterns, panic and phobias, mood disorders and challenges around money and life purpose.
Her approach addresses both day-to-day problems and longer standing difficulties. Her work draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas, alongside client-centred and solution-focused methods. These tools are used to help people notice thoughts and habits, test out new behaviours and make clearer choices about what matters to them.
Deena is registered with the BACP, practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She supports people who want help with family-related issues, relationship breakdown and the emotional impact of health or life transitions.

Online support options
How Deena’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and finding direction in life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thought and behaviour patterns that maintain distress, which can help with panic, phobias and mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people relate to others now and can be useful for communication problems, abandonment concerns and family-related stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the individual about their goals and preferences and then suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging can help people who prefer written formats or need brief, timely support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and busy lives while still focusing on practical change and emotional support.
