About Gifty
Gifty Ogene is a registered counsellor and psychotherapist with 12 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, addiction and career-related questions. Her practice also includes support around parenting, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and difficulties with intimacy and communication.
She has private sector experience and has spent significant time supporting bereaved relatives, carers and friends following losses in hospice care. Gifty describes work with grief as addressing the shock, disorganisation and slow process of rebuilding a life after loss. She also has experience helping people affected by domestic violence, divorce and separation, and substance issues.
Gifty uses a person-centred approach as a practical foundation, aiming to foster a respectful therapeutic relationship built on core counselling conditions. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns influence present relationships. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify and challenge thinking that may be holding someone back.
Sessions tend to focus on clear, usable steps alongside discussion of feelings and history. Conversations often include looking at communication patterns, attachment concerns, boundary and commitment issues, and decision points such as career changes or separation. The overall aim is to help people notice what gets in the way and try different ways of responding.
Gifty works with people from varied backgrounds and welcomes international enquiries. She holds NCPS as a listed credential and conducts work in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How attachment, person-centred and CBT approaches work online
Attachment-Based approaches look at patterns of relating. They help people notice how early connection styles affect current relationships and communication. This can be useful for work on intimacy, commitment issues and communication breakdowns.Client-Centred work focuses on listening and helping people put their concerns into words. It supports people who want to talk through difficult decisions, grief or career uncertainty without being pushed toward a specific outcome.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. In short practical steps, it helps people test unhelpful thinking and try new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood or stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and what feels most helpful, and together they will decide which methods to use. That collaborative choice can change over time as work progresses.
If you plan to work online, please confirm the session formats available before you book, since the original profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Different formats can suit quieter conversations, shorter reviews, or deeper hour-long sessions depending on what a person needs.
