About Ornella
Ornella Tohme is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people find clearer ways forward. She listens carefully and shapes sessions around each person’s needs. The focus is on understanding what matters to the client and helping them make practical changes.
She has eight years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. Over that time she has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, relationship tension, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression.
Background and approach
She also offers help with addictions, grief, intimacy-related concerns, anger, career choices, coping with life changes and parenting questions. Ornella takes a respectful and compassionate stance in sessions. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through difficult moments and try new ways of responding.
The conversation shapes the plan rather than a fixed treatment protocol. Sessions are tailored to each person’s situation and goals. Ornella adapts the pace and focus so the work feels manageable.
She encourages practical steps alongside reflective discussion to support steady progress. Ornella is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She speaks English, Arabic and French and works with people across different backgrounds.
If a parent or carer is worried about stress, family strain or managing life changes, she can help them explore options and next steps.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Client-centred care online for everyday parenting challenges
Client-centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a checklist. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects back what is heard and follows the client’s priorities. This approach helps with anxiety, stress, relationship tension and parenting concerns by creating space to make sense of difficult feelings and test practical options.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ornella will work together with each person to identify what feels most useful. She adapts tone, pace and focus to match the client’s goals and preferences, so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls suit longer conversations and a face-to-face feel. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easy to have brief check-ins or to fit support into a busy schedule. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to attend around family life and work commitments.
