About Gifty Ogene
Gifty Ogene is a registered counsellor and psychotherapist (NCPS) who works with individuals and couples to support emotional wellbeing and relationship health. She brings private sector experience to her practice and approaches each person with respect for their cultural background and personal beliefs, maintaining a consistently non-judgemental stance and clear professional boundaries.
Over the years she has provided specialist support to people grieving the loss of a loved one, offering bereavement care to relatives, carers, and friends of those who died in hospice care. In that role she has helped clients navigate the shock, disorganization, and gradual reorganization that often follow a significant loss. She also has experience supporting couples through conflicts around communication, infidelity, forgiveness, and financial stress.
Gifty works with a wide range of presenting concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. Her approach is practical and person-focused, drawing on a client-centered model to build a strong therapeutic relationship and create an environment that supports growth.
She integrates psychodynamic ideas to explore how past patterns influence present relationships and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts that can hold clients back. Gifty describes counselling as a space for listening and helping clients discover workable solutions, and psychotherapy as a process for gaining insight and developing new coping strategies. She also notes that counselling is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence for treating depression.

Attachment, client-centered care and online access
Gifty commonly draws on attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships shape current patterns; this approach helps clients understand feelings of abandonment, insecurity, or difficulty trusting others and can support work on intimacy and relational patterns. She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on providing empathic listening and core conditions that allow clients to lead the pace and focus of their work, making it suitable for people seeking a supportive, growth-oriented environment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key approach she employs to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Gifty works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different models to create a tailored plan, and she aims to involve clients in that decision-making.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access care from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, continuity of support during life changes, and multiple ways to communicate so clients can pick what feels most comfortable and effective for them.
