About Noya
Noya Hoffman is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years' experience working mainly with people who struggle with depression, anxiety and stress. She offers short-term, focused therapy and works with clients from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
She begins by collaborating with clients to create a clear formulation and set practical goals. Sessions are shaped around a shared focus so each meeting has a purpose. She combines different techniques to match what a person needs at the time rather than sticking to a single method.
Noya uses a mix of psychodynamic approaches and cognitive behavioural techniques alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred work and solution-focused strategies. That mix lets her attend both to past patterns and to current thinking and behaviour that affect day-to-day life.
In sessions she aims to build a respectful, non-judgmental relationship and to work in ways that people find manageable. She describes therapy as a form of self-care and frames the therapist role as a companion rather than a blank slate.
Practical aims include clearer ways to cope with mood changes, reducing overwhelming anxiety, improving self-esteem and managing workplace or relationship stress. Noya also has experience with bipolar presentations, trauma and young adult issues and brings focused tools for panic, eating concerns and seasonal mood shifts.
People considering therapy are encouraged to think about goals before booking. Noya supports setting short-term targets and revisiting them as therapy progresses.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Noya works with approaches that target both thinking patterns and underlying personal history. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them through practical experiments and behaviour change. It is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood.Psychodynamic work looks at repeating patterns and past experiences that keep causing the same problems. It can help when someone wants to understand why they react in certain ways or keep getting stuck in relationships.
Finding the right mix is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which approach or combination might suit those aims. Clients and therapist review progress together and adjust methods if needed.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking as these are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or study, keep check-ins shorter when needed, or choose fewer visual demands such as phone-based discussions. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical options to help sessions fit into everyday life without asking people to travel.
