About Oriana

Oriana Wallace-Johnson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who bring stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and help with motivation and confidence.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions aim to let clients talk through difficult thoughts and feelings without judgement. She encourages gentle pacing and practical steps people can try between meetings.

In sessions Oriana listens for what matters most to each person and follows their lead. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to support people in recognising their own resources and making decisions that suit them. This approach suits a range of concerns, such as coping with life changes, relationship questions, grief, and sleep difficulties.

She also works with issues like abandonment, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, domestic violence, fertility concerns, and obsessive or compulsive patterns. Conversations may address practical problems such as money stress or workplace strain alongside emotional matters.

Oriana conducts sessions in English and practises from the UK. Her practice uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.

How Client-Centred Work Translates to Online Sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening without directing and helping people name what matters to them. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and coping with life changes because it centres the client's perspective.

In practice, sessions give space for someone to speak about what feels most pressing. The counsellor reflects back what she hears and supports small steps the client wants to try. Over time they check in together and adapt the approach based on the client's needs and goals.

Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Oriana will help clients discuss what feels helpful and change the approach if needed. Decisions about pacing, topics and strategies are made together and adjusted as progress unfolds.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people maintain consistency while they work on stress, anxiety, relationships and other concerns.
