About Ornella

Ornella Tohme works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. She uses a person-centred approach and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has eight years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Ornella works in a way that focuses on the person rather than a diagnosis. Sessions centre on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own solutions. She adapts discussions and the plan of work to what each person brings to sessions and to their immediate concerns.

Her experience includes supporting people through grief, intimacy-related issues, addictions and depression. She also helps with parenting stresses, anger and career-related strain, and the life adjustments that follow major changes. These areas are approached through open conversation and attention to what matters to each individual.

Ornella offers counselling in English, Arabic and French. Practical details such as session cost and how sessions are scheduled are handled through the service booking process.

People considering sessions are invited to start by using the site matching system. That initial step helps match needs and practical arrangements before a first session is scheduled.

How client-centred counselling translates to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering active listening and reflective responses to help the client find their own solutions. This approach is often used for issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and grief because it focuses on what the individual brings to the session and their personal priorities.

In practice, a person-centred counsellor works alongside the client to agree goals and next steps. Ornella will collaborate with clients to identify which elements of the approach fit best for their situation and adjust the tone and pace of sessions accordingly.

Online work can make fitting counselling into a busy life easier, for example by reducing travel time and allowing sessions to be booked around work or family commitments. If you need quieter surroundings, a shorter check-in, or a session without video, mention this when arranging appointments. The service booking process will confirm which session formats are offered before you schedule a first meeting.
