About Chanel

Chanel Muharrem works with people using a Client-Centred approach, letting them set the pace and the agenda for counselling. She is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and has four years' counselling experience in the United Kingdom.

Chanel focuses on anxiety, low mood and self-esteem, and issues around relationships and intimacy. She also supports people dealing with bereavement, grief and major life changes such as retirement or menopause. Addictions, workplace stress and compassion fatigue are included among her areas of practice.

Her way of working puts the client at the centre. Sessions aim to help people talk through feelings, clarify what matters to them and find practical ways to manage day-to-day strain. Clients set the topics and speed of work while the counsellor follows their lead using the Client-Centred method.

Before qualifying she worked in the City with people under high pressure and later in academia supporting students and staff. Those roles gave her experience of workplace demands and of supporting people through stress and overwhelm.

Her counselling background includes work with Mind as a bereavement counsellor and supporting people with anxiety and depression.

People who come to her often want straightforward, practical help to feel better and manage difficult feelings. Chanel encourages clients to explore their concerns at a comfortable pace and to find ways forward that fit their lives.

How Client-Centred counselling translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy is based on listening and letting the person lead the work. In practice this means the counsellor follows what the client brings to sessions, reflects back what they say, and supports them to make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach suits concerns such as anxiety, low mood, relationship strain and grief where being heard and understood helps people to decide their next steps.

The therapist's background supporting people under workplace pressure and in bereavement services means she draws on practical knowledge of stress and life transitions. Finding the right style of counselling is part of the work together - she will discuss what helps, try different ways of working, and adjust to the client's goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments, and they can reduce time spent on commuting. They may also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when video is impractical. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these approaches to help clients keep therapy manageable within everyday life.
