About Gifty

Gifty Ogene is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 12 years of experience supporting people in the United Kingdom. She works with individuals and couples to address emotional wellbeing, including stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and grief. Gifty uses a respectful, non-judgemental approach that pays attention to each person’s culture and beliefs.

Her background includes substantial work with bereaved relatives, carers and friends of people who have died in hospice care. She helps people navigate the shock and disorganisation that can follow loss, and supports them as they reorganise their lives and begin recovery.

Gifty also has experience helping couples with conflicts, communication problems, infidelity and financial tensions. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, addictions and parenting strain, and she addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues and codependency.

Her practice draws on a mix of approaches. She works in a client-centred way to build a trusting relationship and uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns affect present behaviour. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking and to build practical coping strategies.

Gifty emphasises clear professional boundaries and a calm therapeutic space where people can speak freely. She explains counselling as a chance to talk through difficult matters and psychotherapy as a way to gain deeper insight and develop new ways of coping.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating and emotional bonds. It helps people recognise how early connections shape current relationship behaviour and can support work on trust, intimacy and communication. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on offering acceptance and understanding, giving people space to speak and find their own solutions while the counsellor reflects and supports emotional exploration.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods that fit the issue and adjust as the work progresses so the approach stays relevant.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or sessions from a quieter place without travel. It can also allow continuity for people who live far from services or who travel frequently. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt attachment-based and client-centred methods to an online setting, using conversation and reflective exercises to strengthen relationships and manage emotions.
