About Noya
Noya Hoffman is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety and stress. She works with adults from diverse backgrounds and focuses on short-term, practical therapy. Noya aims to make the first appointments clear and manageable so people know what to expect.
She collaborates with each person to build a shared plan. Together they form simple formulations, set goals and pick a clear focus for sessions. Noya mixes approaches to suit the person rather than using one fixed method.
Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. These approaches are combined with solution-focused techniques when a brief, goal-directed route is helpful. She describes therapy as a companioning process rather than a blank canvas.
Noya works using evidence-based tools while offering encouragement and practical support. She aims to create an open, non-judgemental space so clients can speak freely and build trust. The emphasis is on small steps that add up to steadier daily functioning.
With ten years of experience and BACP membership, she tailors interventions to each person’s needs and preferences. Many people come for help with mood, panic, workplace strain, relationship and family concerns, or issues such as ADHD and self-esteem. Noya asks people to choose therapy thoughtfully and to set goals that feel achievable.
How therapy methods translate to online support
Noya uses Client-Centred Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in ways that suit each person. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience so they feel heard and respected. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and to act on what matters to them. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Noya discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods to match what they want to achieve. This collaborative process helps people see which tools feel useful and which need changing.
Practical benefits of online options include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and avoiding travel time. Online work can make shorter check-ins easier and lets people choose a quieter moment for a session.
