About Gifty Ogene
Gifty Ogene is a registered counsellor and psychotherapist who supports individuals and couples with their emotional wellbeing. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification in counselling and psychotherapy, and brings 12 years of experience in the private sector. She works with each person in a way that honours their culture and beliefs, maintaining a non-judgemental stance and clear professional boundaries.
Her practice includes extensive bereavement work, with ten years supporting relatives, carers, and friends who are finding it difficult to cope after a loved one died in hospice care. She helps people navigate loss by addressing the initial shock, the disorganization that can follow, and the process of reorganization and recovery. She also has five years' experience working with couples on challenges such as conflict, communication breakdowns, infidelity, unforgiveness, and money-related strain. Over time she has supported many clients managing anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.
Gifty draws on three complementary therapeutic approaches. A person-centred model informs her practical work by fostering the core conditions that support a strong therapeutic relationship and personal growth. Psychodynamic therapy is used to uncover how past patterns and learned behaviours influence present relationships and make it harder to express needs or connect with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is applied to build collaborative working alliances and to challenge unhelpful thinking that may be holding clients back.
She works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career matters, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, avoidant personality patterns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, control issues, recovery from natural or human-caused disasters, divorce and separation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, eating and food-related issues, and feelings of emptiness. Her clinical approaches include attachment-based therapy, client-centred therapy, CBT, Imago relationship therapy, mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused therapy. Gifty provides services in English and is accepting new clients, including international clients.

People can connect with therapists in whatever format suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage mobility or travel constraints, and access support from different locations.
Licensed professionals offer these remote options, and clients can request a different therapist at any time if they are seeking a different fit. For those weighing their options, online therapy can provide a practical and accessible way to work on common emotional and relational concerns with trained therapists.
