About Gifty
Gifty Ogene is a registered counsellor and psychotherapist (NCPS) with 12 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She supports individuals and couples with emotional wellbeing, including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and grief. She also works with people facing addiction, parenting strain, work stress and career questions.
She spent a decade supporting bereaved relatives, carers and friends who struggled after a death in hospice care. In those cases she helps people cope with loss, shock and the practical reorganisation of life that follows bereavement. She also has experience helping people process anger, emptiness and self-esteem issues.
Gifty uses a mix of approaches in sessions. Her work draws on person-centred ideas to build a respectful therapeutic relationship. She uses psychodynamic thinking to look at how past patterns affect present-day relationships and communication, and she applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Sessions focus on concrete problems and steps clients can try between meetings. She aims to be non-judgemental and to maintain clear professional boundaries. Clients can expect direct discussion of communication problems, attachment concerns, commitment issues and practical coping strategies.
Her background includes private-sector counselling and psychotherapy, and several years working with couples on conflict, infidelity and money issues. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. To start, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.
How CBT, attachment work and person-centred therapy translate to online sessions
Gifty combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and a person-centred approach in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape communication and trust. The person-centred approach prioritises listening and building a respectful working relationship so clients can reflect on their concerns.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She works with each client to decide which approaches match their goals and preferences. That means discussing whether to emphasise thought-challenging exercises, relationship-focused sessions or reflective, listening-led conversations depending on what the client needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Some formats use less bandwidth and work better for quick updates, while others suit longer, focused conversations about relationships and past experiences. Discuss practical arrangements and session length when you schedule the first meeting.
