Onon Perenlei, BACP

Onon Perenlei is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has three years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem and people facing life changes. She also supports those dealing with abandonment and attachment concerns, codependency patterns, and identity questions.

Her approach begins with listening. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on exploring thoughts and feelings without judgement. She draws on client-centred methods to make space for each person's experience and uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships.

Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice unhelpful habits and to reduce constant reactivity. Existential therapy is offered to address questions about meaning, purpose and the strain of major life changes. Trauma-focused methods are included when past events continue to affect day-to-day life.

Practical work often includes talking through how a client's relationships affect their wellbeing. This can mean learning clearer boundaries, managing people-pleasing, or coping when someone else’s moods or crises dominate a household. Sessions move at a pace the client can manage and aim to build clearer choices rather than quick fixes.

She offers sessions in English and Mongolian and works with adults. To begin, clients follow the practice's sign-up steps and schedule an initial meeting. The counsellor encourages straightforward conversation about goals and what a person wants to change.
