About Deena
Deena Ramkhelawon is a counsellor with 17 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She practices in a warm, accepting and non-judgemental way. Sessions focus on helping people talk through anxiety, stress, relationship strain and life changes so they can find clearer ways forward.
She uses a client-centred stance that keeps the person’s own goals at the heart of the work. She also draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to tailor sessions to each person. This means sessions may combine listening, practical skills and reflection depending on what the client needs.
Deena supports people coping with depression, low self-esteem, panic, obsessive thoughts and phobias, as well as parenting and family pressures. She also works with concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and multicultural issues. Her stated focus includes attachment and abandonment themes and communication problems.
Her style is collaborative and paced to the individual. She explains concepts, offers psychoeducation where helpful, and works with people to build small, manageable steps. Clients can expect straightforward language and a focus on practical coping alongside exploring underlying patterns.
Deena is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and her practice is based in the United Kingdom. To start, people are invited to use the site process to match with her and schedule according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Deena uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means sessions start from the client’s concerns and goals and build at their pace. This approach is useful for people who need an empathetic space to make sense of feelings and decisions.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. ACT can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions by teaching practical ways to respond to difficult thoughts.
Attachment-based ideas are part of her way of looking at relationship patterns and family issues. These perspectives can help people understand long-standing ways of relating and try different approaches in close relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions can be shaped around their needs.
