She draws on attachment ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships. Client-centred work keeps sessions focused on each person’s experience and priorities.
How Novena-Chanel works
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small, manageable changes in daily life. Novena-Chanel has 13 years of experience in counselling and related roles. She holds BACP accreditation, which signals professional membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Her background includes work on trauma, family systems and multicultural issues. Typical sessions explore patterns from family of origin and current relationships, and address concerns such as abandonment, isolation and self-esteem. Practical skills and reflective conversation are mixed together so people leave with both insight and steps they can try at home.
She also supports people with issues around fatherhood, caregiving stress, sexuality and women’s concerns. Sessions are offered in English and can include different formats to suit busy lives. The aim is to build realistic ways to meet goals and maintain progress after therapy ends.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people make sense of recurring patterns like fear of abandonment or difficulty trusting others and aims to rebuild more dependable ways of relating.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s pace so people feel heard and can explore what matters most to them.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used alongside these approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavioural experiments. This can help with low mood, anxiety and practical day-to-day coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which blend of methods fits best. That collaborative process helps make sure sessions feel useful and tailored to each person.
Online therapy offers flexibility and a range of ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, and live chat or text messaging suit quick reflections and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around family life, work or other commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
