Oriana Wallace-Johnson, BACP

Oriana Wallace-Johnson is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She offers a welcoming space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and motivation struggles. She encourages openness and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for someone taking that first step.

Oriana focuses on helping clients name what feels difficult and notice small, practical changes that can make life easier. She listens without judgment and works at the client’s pace. Conversations often centre on managing strong emotions, building confidence, improving sleep and coping with major life changes such as career shifts or midlife transitions.

Her background includes work across common concerns such as grief, intimacy-related issues and relationship strain. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, fertility issues, financial worry and feelings of isolation. Sessions can address obsessive or compulsive patterns, mood fluctuations and challenges linked to past abandonment or domestic violence.

Oriana uses a Client-Centred Therapy approach, which means sessions are shaped around the person in front of her. Clients set the goals and the pace, while the counsellor offers reflective listening and gentle guidance. This style suits people who want a respectful, empathetic listener rather than directive instruction.

Practical matters such as session scheduling and format are arranged when booking. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and choose a time that fits with therapist availability.

How a Client-Centred Approach works online

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and being present for the person who comes to therapy. The counsellor reflects what is said, helps people clarify their own aims and supports them as they try out new ways of thinking and coping. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and finding direction during life changes.

Working this way online keeps the focus on the client’s needs rather than a fixed agenda. The counsellor and client decide together what to explore and how quickly to move. That collaborative planning helps if someone is unsure what they want from therapy or if goals shift over time.

Practical session arrangements are confirmed when booking, so readers should check the available options before they commit. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce journeys to appointments and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Registered or accredited professionals offer remote sessions in ways that suit everyday life, and the therapist will help match the format to the client’s needs during the initial steps.
