Chanel Muharrem

Chanel Muharrem is a registered counsellor with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and has four years' experience. She works with people facing anxiety, low mood, relationship problems, grief, and career or life transitions. Chanel also supports those coping with stress, addictions, trauma and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Sessions are conducted in English and she practises in the United Kingdom.

Chanel uses a Client-Centred approach, which means the person she works with sets the pace and the topics. She aims to help people talk through what matters to them and to find practical ways to manage day-to-day pressures. She draws on experience supporting people in high‑pressure workplaces and in academic settings, which helps her relate to work-related stress and role changes.

Her background includes bereavement counselling with Mind and supporting people with anxiety and depression through that charity. She has also worked with professionals in the City and with students and staff in higher education institutions. Those roles shaped how she listens to people who feel overwhelmed and need straightforward support.

Clients commonly bring concerns such as family of origin issues, communication problems, codependency, attachment and abandonment worries, infidelity, divorce and separation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Chanel helps people consider where they are now and what matters next, including questions about life purpose and career direction.

Practical steps are emphasised in sessions. Chanel encourages people to set small, manageable goals and to reflect on how past experiences influence current relationships. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Client-Centred ways of working and remote sessions

Chanel primarily uses a Client-Centred approach. This focuses on placing the person’s concerns at the centre of each session and following the client’s lead. It suits people who want time to talk things through, explore how they feel, and decide the pace of change themselves.

The Client-Centred method often helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries, grief and life transitions because it lets clients identify what matters most to them. Chanel draws on her experience with people in high‑pressure jobs and academic settings to understand work-related stress and role changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chanel will discuss different ways of working and agree on what feels most useful based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That process is collaborative and may change as sessions progress.

The biography does not specify session formats here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of remote arrangements to suit practical constraints and everyday life.
