About Oriana

Oriana Wallace-Johnson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and life changes, and works using client-centred therapy. Sessions are conducted in English.

Her practice emphasises open conversation and straightforward support. She encourages people to talk about difficult feelings and thoughts without judgement, and to take small steps toward clearer thinking and day-to-day coping. The first meetings typically look at what is most pressing and what the person hopes to change.

Oriana applies client-centred therapy, which means she listens closely and follows the pace set by the person in the room. This approach is commonly used for relationship concerns, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems and parenting strain, as well as mood difficulties like depression and anxiety. She also works with issues such as abandonment, chronic illness and pain, fertility concerns, and feelings of emptiness or shame.

She aims to help people sort priorities, practise communication skills, and develop practical coping strategies for everyday challenges such as work stress, money worries and midlife decisions. Conversations may include looking at patterns, setting small goals, and trying new ways to handle hard moments.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site’s booking flow. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred work translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening, reflecting what someone says, and allowing the person to lead the pace of each meeting. In practice this means the counsellor follows the person’s concerns and helps them to make sense of feelings, which can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship matters and trauma-related worries.

In sessions where the emphasis is on verbal exploration, the counsellor mirrors back thoughts and feelings and asks simple, clarifying questions. This style suits people who want a conversational approach that emphasises understanding, emotional processing and practical next steps for daily life challenges such as sleep, parenting strain or work stress.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in early meetings and agree together how to proceed. This collaborative planning helps shape whether sessions focus on emotional processing, problem-solving, communication skills or short-term coping techniques.

The site booking flow explains how to arrange sessions and the subscription payment model. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, and that shorter check-ins or fewer visual demands can suit different situations.
