Gifty Ogene , NCPS

Gifty Ogene is a registered counsellor and psychotherapist who supports individuals and couples with their emotional wellbeing. She brings private sector experience to her practice and works with each person in a way that honors their culture and beliefs while maintaining a non-judgemental stance. Gifty also holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional credential in counselling and psychotherapy.

She has extensive experience supporting people through bereavement, offering ten years of work with relatives, carers, and friends of those who died in hospice care. In this role she helps clients process loss, shock, disorganization, reorganization, and the gradual steps toward recovery. Gifty has also spent five years working with couples to address conflict, communication difficulties, infidelity, unforgiveness, and financial tensions.

Across her practice she regularly supports clients facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and other emotional difficulties. Her therapeutic work draws on a blend of approaches - including a person-centred framework that prioritises core conditions for growth, psychodynamic exploration to identify past patterns influencing present relationships, and cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build practical coping strategies. Gifty is known for building professional therapeutic relationships, maintaining clear boundaries, and promoting a compassionate, non-judgemental environment.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in adult connections. It explores attachment styles and helps people who struggle with abandonment, intimacy, or trust to understand and shift long-standing relational patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy, also called person-centred work, creates an accepting space where the therapist offers empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine engagement. This approach supports personal growth and is often helpful for people coping with low self-esteem, life transitions, and emotional distress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques and collaborative goal-setting. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns to develop practical coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Gifty will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend these approaches to tailor care to the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to connect with a therapist from the United Kingdom or abroad. For many people, remote sessions improve access to consistent support while maintaining a collaborative relationship with a licensed therapist.
