Gifty Ogene, NCPS

Gifty Ogene is a counsellor and psychotherapist who practices in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS and brings 12 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and life changes. Gifty works in a non-judgemental way and pays attention to each person's culture and beliefs. She aims to build a trusting relationship and maintain clear professional boundaries.

She has long experience offering bereavement support to relatives, carers and friends of people who died in hospice care. Gifty helps people talk through loss, shock and the confusing stages that follow a death. She supports practical rebuilding and finding ways to reorganise life after grief.

Gifty also spends time with people facing relationship difficulties. Her work has included addressing communication problems, infidelity, money issues and the hurt those situations can cause. She uses gentle exploration to help people notice patterns that affect their connections with others.

Her way of working draws on a mix of client-centred practice, psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means she listens first, looks at how earlier experiences shape current behaviour, and helps challenge thinking that holds someone back. Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on practical next steps.

People come to Gifty for a wide range of concerns including depression, addictions, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and ADHD-related support. She also addresses attachment and intimacy-related issues, codependency and coping with major life transitions. Her approach combines empathic listening with clear, practical tools.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps people to notice patterns in how they relate and to try different ways of connecting. Client-centred practice places the person at the heart of the session, with the counsellor listening closely and following the person's pace and priorities. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce distress and improve everyday coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then try methods that match those aims. This collaborative way helps people find what actually helps them in day-to-day life.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to attend from a different region when international arrangements are required.
