About Celestina
Celestina Oniye-Thomas is a BACP-registered counsellor with twenty years of professional experience in the UK. She supports people who are facing relationship strains, parenting challenges, stress and anxiety, or who are coping with life changes. Her work also covers trauma, abuse, self-esteem and career concerns.
She takes a respectful and compassionate approach in sessions. Conversations and any plan are tailored to each person’s needs. She uses a mix of evidence-informed methods to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Celestina pays attention to family background and attachment issues, and she helps people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns. She also works with those affected by domestic violence, separation and blended family difficulties. Practical problems such as communication breakdowns, codependency and caregiver stress are addressed alongside emotional concerns like emptiness or anger.
Her clinical influences include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, existential ideas, Jungian perspectives and mindfulness practices. Those threads are woven into sessions to suit each person’s situation rather than following a rigid formula.
Sessions aim to combine everyday, lived experience with therapeutic reflection. Celestina encourages small, achievable steps so progress can be felt between meetings. If you are looking for steady support with practical relationship or life concerns, she offers a calm, experienced presence to work alongside you.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build small habits that move them towards those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions where people want clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood through practical strategies. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility, helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by big life questions to find more personal clarity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will explore goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and suggest methods to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change if something does not feel like a good fit.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to keep regular appointments and to bring notes or exercises from everyday life into the conversation when working remotely with a registered professional.
