About Dorothi

Dorothi Oviosu is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, depression, addiction and grief. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at making the first step feel possible for anyone unsure about therapy.

Dorothi has nine years of practice and works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework. She brings a mix of practical tools into sessions, such as life graphs, sand exercises and simple visual techniques to help people tell their story and spot patterns.

Background and approach

Sessions are offered in English across the United Kingdom and to international clients. Sessions are delivered with an open, non-judgemental stance. Dorothi places emphasis on honesty and giving people space to be heard.

She encourages clients to keep control over their choices while she guides them to make sense of difficult feelings and situations. Her style combines talking with hands-on exercises. That can mean mapping family dynamics, tracking mood changes, or using objects to explore emotions.

These small activities aim to make tricky subjects easier to discuss and to lead to clearer steps forward. People come to Dorothi for help with many life stresses - work strain, relationship endings, parenting strain, eating concerns, or struggles with self-esteem. She works collaboratively to build a practical plan that fits each person's life and goals.

Online support

How attachment work and CBT translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. In online sessions this means talking through past patterns and practising different ways of relating, helping people spot repeated cycles that affect parenting, relationships and trust.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT often involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small experiments and using simple worksheets or exercises between sessions to build new habits for anxiety, low mood and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then agree a plan together. This collaborative way means methods can be adapted as work progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, so people can pick what suits them. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and use of visual tools. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when writing helps organise thoughts. These options make it easier to fit counselling around family life, work or travel while keeping the therapeutic focus.
