About Dorothi
Dorothi Oviosu is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, codependency and related issues. Sessions are delivered with straightforward, person-centred care and practical tools to help people feel clearer about what to do next.
She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past bonds affect current relationships. She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns, challenge unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. She combines talking with hands-on exercises such as life graphs, blob family work and simple stress-relief tools so people can see problems differently.
Dorothi works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. That shapes how she meets people and manages the work together. She aims to be open and honest in sessions and to give people autonomy over decisions they make about change.
In practical terms she helps people name patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, repeated break-ups and struggles around substance use or eating. She also supports those coping with caregiver stress, blended family tensions, attachment wounds and issues around intimacy.
People can expect a mix of reflective conversation and simple exercises to practise between sessions. The focus is on clearer thinking, small experiments in behaviour and building skills that make daily life more manageable.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In practice this means talking about repeated difficulties in close relationships and gently tracing where those patterns began to help change them. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, offering non-directive conversation that helps people find their own solutions and make clearer choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, test them and try small behavioural experiments to see what changes.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online work can fit into busy lives by reducing travel and making it easier to schedule sessions during breaks or from another quiet spot. Some methods translate well to remote meetings - for example CBT worksheets and simple exercises can be sent and reviewed, while attachment-focused conversations suit video or phone work. Ask about how practical tools such as life graphs or blob family exercises are adapted for online sessions.
