About Deena
Deena Ramkhelawon is a counsellor with 17 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical, understandable support for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship concerns. Parents wondering how to juggle family life and wellbeing will find her approach straightforward and grounded.
She uses a mix of therapies tailored to each person. Sessions are conversational and aim to make problems feel more manageable. Deena encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.
Background and approach
Deena pays attention to attachment and family dynamics. She helps people untangle communication problems, caregiver stress and issues that come from past losses or abandonment. This can make everyday family life easier to navigate.
Her work also covers obsessive thoughts, panic, phobias and mood difficulties. People who face chronic illness or long-term pain can explore how those issues affect their mood and routines. She supports clients to find coping strategies that fit their daily life.
Sessions often include practical skills from cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance-based ideas. Deena aims to help people notice what matters to them and act in line with those values. The pace and focus are set by each person in collaboration with the counsellor.
Initial conversations explore current stresses, parenting demands and how life changes are being managed. From there she and the client shape a plan that feels realistic and doable, with attention to small steps and clearer communication at home.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and commit to small actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and family-related decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behaviour, which helps with panic, phobias, obsessive thoughts and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current family dynamics and communication, helping people understand and shift long-standing interaction styles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try different ways of working based on a client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress is made and new needs emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when discussing family interactions. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or want a way to keep in touch between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around parenting schedules and other daily responsibilities.
