About Gifty
Gifty Ogene is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 12 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and draws on that background to support people through strong feelings and difficult life moments. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, with an emphasis on listening first and responding to each person’s needs.
Her practice focuses on practical conversation and emotional insight. She uses client-centred work to build a warm, non-judgemental relationship where people can talk about what matters to them.
How Gifty works
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Attachment-based ideas help explore patterns that repeat in relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. This can be helpful for concerns such as abandonment, communication problems and commitment issues.
Mindfulness is also used to bring calm and focus when anxiety or stress feels overwhelming. Gifty has experience supporting people facing grief after a loved one’s death in hospice care, and she has provided support around bereavement for carers and relatives. She also has experience supporting people with relationship difficulties including communication breakdown, infidelity and money disagreements.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s culture and beliefs, and she aims to remain non-judgemental while maintaining clear professional boundaries. People who want practical tools alongside deeper reflection may find her way of working helpful.

Online support options
How her approaches translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. Online work can help people notice these patterns and try different ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance so the person feels heard; this helps people find their own solutions and set goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes that reduce stress or anxiety.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk through your needs and preferences, and together you will decide which methods to try first. That process can change as you work together and as different issues come up.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are useful for full sessions with visual contact. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option or fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent over time.
