About Gifty
Gifty Ogene is a registered counsellor and psychotherapist (NCPS) with 12 years of experience working in the private sector in the United Kingdom. She supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and addictions. She also works with grief, parenting strain, intimacy and codependency issues.
Her work begins by listening and by keeping judgement out of the room. Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical steps that help a person feel steadier. She uses a client-centred approach to build a working relationship where people can speak honestly about their worries.
Gifty also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect present relationships. That can make it clearer why someone struggles to say no, to ask for what they need, or to move on after loss. Cognitive behavioural techniques are introduced when thinking habits are getting in the way; these help people spot and test unhelpful beliefs.
She has dedicated time supporting bereaved relatives, carers and friends who are coping with loss related to hospice care. She has also worked with couples on conflicts such as communication breakdown, infidelity and money worries. Her background includes helping people who's lives are affected by trauma, domestic violence and substance use.
Gifty offers a calm, down-to-earth style. She maintains professional boundaries and works respectfully with culture and belief. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session to discuss goals and practical next steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Gifty often combines client-centred work with psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping people name what they want to change. Psychodynamic work looks at past patterns that repeat in current relationships and helps people understand why they respond the way they do. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so sessions stay focused on practical steps that matter.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins on busy days, or let someone choose sessions without needing to travel to a clinic. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt tasks and exercises so they work in a remote session, while keeping sessions straightforward and goal oriented.
