About Gifty

Gifty Ogene is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. She draws on 12 years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship worries and grief. Gifty works with individuals and couples, and she aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them.

Her background includes work in bereavement, supporting relatives, carers and friends of people who died in hospice care. She has helped people navigate shock, loss and the steps towards reorganisation and recovery. Gifty also has experience supporting people with anxiety, depression and addiction-related concerns.

In couple work she has supported partners through communication breakdowns, infidelity, unforgiveness and money disputes. She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person, emphasising respect for cultural beliefs and the individual story that each person brings.

Gifty uses a person-centred orientation to build a strong therapeutic relationship and create an environment where people can grow. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect present relationships, and on cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills.

She holds NCPS as a listed credential and has worked across private-sector counselling and psychotherapy settings. Sessions are conducted in English, and she is available to work with people who live outside the UK as well.

How Gifty’s approaches fit online work

Gifty combines person-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques to support change. Person-centred work focuses on empathy and acceptance so clients can explore what matters to them and discover their own solutions. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past patterns may be repeating now, which can help with relationship and attachment issues. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building practical coping strategies for anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which combination of methods suits a person’s goals and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adapting sessions over time to find what helps most.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or offer a quieter setting when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can use these arrangements to make therapy more accessible while keeping the focus on practical progress and everyday coping.
