Aruna Ramkalowon , BACP

Aruna Ramkalowon is a licensed counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience and BACP accreditation. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors in the UK. As an integrative counsellor, she blends techniques from different therapeutic models to create an approach that fits each person's situation and goals.

Aruna has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low motivation, challenges with self-esteem, and confidence issues. She approaches every person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and tailors conversations and treatment plans to meet unique needs. Recognising that taking the first step toward counselling can take courage, she aims to make the experience less daunting and more approachable. Aruna invites people to consider seeking support and offers a calm, person-focused way to explore change and healing.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care

Aruna commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with mindfulness techniques woven into the work when helpful. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the person-led conversation helps uncover personal strengths and goals - this approach can be useful for building self-esteem and exploring relationship or life-change issues. CBT is a practical, problem-focused method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, offering tools to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Aruna works collaboratively to identify what fits best for each person. She tailors methods to the client's needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds, so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Aruna can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without travel, helping people maintain momentum between sessions while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
