About Aruna
Aruna Ramkalowon welcomes people seeking support with parenting and related stresses. She offers a calm, patient presence and practical steps to help clients manage worry, low mood, relationship strain and life changes. Aruna uses everyday language and gentle curiosity to make conversations easier to start and keep moving at a comfortable pace.
With six years of experience, Aruna combines several counselling approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on client-centred work to follow the client's lead and build trust.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small, realistic changes. Aruna also brings mindfulness practices to help reduce anxiety and increase focus. Elements of psychodynamic and Jungian ideas are available when exploring deeper patterns and past influences feels useful.
Sessions aim to balance short-term coping skills with longer-term insight when that suits the client. People come to Aruna for many issues including stress, depression, grief, workplace strain, compassion fatigue and addiction concerns. She also supports those facing parenting pressures, communication problems and life stage changes.
Her approach is respectful, non-judgemental and tailored to what matters most to each person. Aruna works in English and practises within the United Kingdom. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can pick the way that fits their routine and comfort.

How Aruna’s approaches work online
Aruna uses client-centred counselling to follow what each person most needs. That means sessions start by listening closely and shaping the conversation around the client’s priorities. This approach helps when someone wants space to talk things through and feel heard.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used in short practical steps to tackle anxious thoughts and unhelpful habits. CBT is useful for issues such as anxiety, depression, low motivation and many parenting stressors where changing small behaviours and thoughts can bring relief.
Mindfulness practices are offered to build calmer attention and reduce reactivity. Simple exercises taught in sessions can be practised between meetings to help with focus, stress and emotional regulation.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try approaches and adjust what they do together. This collaborative process helps make sure the plan fits the client’s life and priorities.
Online therapy here is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around family, work and other commitments.
