About Chanel
Chanel Muharrem is a BACP counsellor who uses a Client-Centred approach to put the person at the heart of each session. She focuses on helping people set their own pace and priorities. Chanel aims to create an understanding space where someone can speak openly and begin to feel more hopeful about the future.
She works with anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem. Relationship difficulties, grief and life transitions such as ageing, menopause or retirement are also areas she addresses. Chanel supports people facing work-related stress and compassion fatigue as well as those coping with loss and bereavement.
Her background includes roles supporting professionals in high-pressure City environments and work in academia with students, staff and academics. Those experiences shape how she responds to people feeling overwhelmed and help her understand everyday pressures at work and in study settings.
Chanel has worked as a bereavement counsellor and with people experiencing anxiety and depression through Mind. She currently combines private practice with other professional work. Over four years of counselling experience inform her practical, person-led way of working.
In sessions she listens with empathy, patience and without judgement. She helps people talk through what matters to them and together they look for steps that feel manageable. Chanel encourages self-direction so people can find their own ways to improve wellbeing and quality of life.
How Client-Centred work fits with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and on creating a non-judgemental listening space. In practice this means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects back what they hear, and helps the client find their own next steps. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and life transitions.Chanel’s emphasis is on the individual’s pace and priorities, so the shape of therapy is decided together. She will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt the way sessions proceed based on goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the work and is agreed collaboratively.
Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions around work or study, avoiding travel time, and making it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed. Confirm the exact session options before booking, as the available formats are set by the therapist. Many people find online appointments help them maintain continuity of care while juggling busy schedules.
