About Deena
Deena Ramkhelawon is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, as well as parenting and self-esteem difficulties.
Deena uses a mix of approaches to suit different problems. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address anxious thoughts and behaviours. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and attachment patterns affect current life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is part of her toolkit for managing difficult feelings and values-led goals.
Sessions involve clear conversation about what is worrying the client and practical steps to try between meetings. She aims to help people notice patterns, practise new responses and build everyday routines that make coping easier. Work on relationships and communication is straightforward and practical, with attention to boundaries and problem-solving.
Deena has experience supporting people with panic, phobias, obsessive and compulsive concerns, mood difficulties and caregiver stress. She also helps with life changes such as separation, career shifts and caring responsibilities. Her approach brings together talking therapies and skill-based work to address both feelings and behaviours.
Sessions are conducted in English and she works with people within the United Kingdom. For those who want to try this way of working she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to agree goals and steps.
How her approaches work online
Deena uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural techniques as part of her practice. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with avoidance and living with anxiety. Cognitive behavioural work looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Deena will discuss what matters to the client, test different techniques and agree on a direction that fits their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where goals are set early and reviewed regularly.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practise skills in their everyday routines and bring real-life situations into sessions for immediate discussion.
