About Gifty
Gifty Ogene is a counsellor and psychotherapist with over 12 years of experience supporting emotional wellbeing. She offers one-to-one work that recognises each person’s culture and beliefs. Her approach aims to be non-judgemental and to help people feel heard and understood.
She has significant experience offering bereavement support to relatives, carers and friends who have lost someone in hospice care. That work focuses on the stages of loss - shock, disorganisation and the steps towards recovery.
Background and approach
Gifty also has experience helping people facing anxiety and depression. Gifty has worked with people addressing relationship difficulties, including communication struggles, infidelity and money-related conflict. Her background includes years of supporting people through grief and relationship change, and she draws on that when helping clients cope with major life transitions.
Her practice uses several therapeutic approaches in a practical way. She works from a person-centred model to build a trusting relationship and create the core conditions for change. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect present relationships, and cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking.
Gifty holds NCPS as a credential and offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom. She works with issues such as stress, parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, self-esteem and compassion fatigue, among others.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It looks at emotional bonds and helps people notice how past attachments influence present reactions in relationships.Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens with empathy and offers the core conditions that help people feel safe to talk and to find their own solutions.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with stressful situations.
Finding the best approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits your needs, goals and preferences. That means adapting methods over time and checking in about what is or isn't helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face and see non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can suit quick exchanges, ongoing coaching-style support or when writing feels more comfortable. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and everyday life.
