About Dorothi
Dorothi Oviosu is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems. She supports those dealing with trauma, depression, addiction and codependency concerns. People come to her for help with grief, intimacy issues, eating difficulties, parenting strain, low self-esteem and major life changes.
She works from an integrative stance and uses person-centred principles to keep sessions warm and non-judgemental. Cognitive behavioural techniques are part of her toolkit and she also draws on dialectical skills and mindfulness when these suit a person's needs. Dorothi uses practical aids in sessions, such as life graphs, sand work and stress-relief tools to make ideas easier to grasp.
Dorothi follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework. She has nine years' experience and has supported people from varied backgrounds with a wide range of concerns. Her approach aims to give people a clear sense of where they are and where they want to go.
Sessions are offered with honesty and openness, and Dorothi focuses on giving people space to be heard. She encourages autonomy so people can build a map for change and reclaim a sense of personal power. Taking that first step into counselling is framed as an act of courage, and she offers to walk alongside clients as they begin that work.
How Dorothi's approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current difficulties. It can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, trust issues and long-standing relationship concerns.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers empathic listening and acceptance so clients can explore feelings and choices at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dorothi will talk with each person about their needs and goals and help decide which combination of methods fits best. This is a collaborative process and can change as the work progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler for people living outside the immediate area to work with registered or accredited professionals.
