Deena Ramkhelawon

Deena Ramkhelawon is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes, and she lists life purpose among her focus areas. Her background includes a range of therapeutic approaches and long experience supporting people with relationship and family concerns. She uses a mix of methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions often begin by talking through what matters now and what feels stuck. She will help people notice patterns that keep them anxious or unsure and look for small changes to test in day-to-day life. Deena also works with obsessive thoughts and behaviours and describes using exposure and response prevention alongside psychoeducation when OCD is present. She explains the rationale for techniques in plain language and encourages a steady pace shaped by the client’s comfort. People who come with parenting pressures, caregiver stress or chronic health worries can expect practical discussion about coping and boundaries. Financial strain, career doubts and questions about purpose are treated as real, practical problems to address in sessions rather than abstract topics. Her multicultural focus means she pays attention to how culture and background affect relationships and self-esteem. Sessions are held in English and she does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and work uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and focus on actions that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and for people unsure what to do next. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical skills to change thoughts and behaviours, and it is often used for panic, phobias and mood difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections and self-worth, which can help with abandonment and relationship problems. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree together what to try first. That choice is revisited as sessions progress so methods can shift if they are not helpful. Confirm the exact session formats before you book, as the biography does not list specific online options. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to attend from a quieter location. The practical aim is to make therapy easier to keep up with while exploring what matters most.
