About Chanel
Chanel Muharrem is a counsellor who uses a Client-Centred approach to keep the person at the heart of the work. She helps people set the pace and choose what to focus on. Chanel aims to create a calm space where worries and difficult feelings can be talked through without judgment.
She supports people struggling with anxiety and low mood, and with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship problems, bereavement and major life changes.
Background and approach
She also helps with work-related stress and the pressures that can come from demanding jobs and academic roles. Chanel pays attention to how life transitions affect wellbeing and practical coping. Before qualifying she worked in the City and later in higher education.
Those roles gave her direct experience of high-pressure environments and how stress shows up in day-to-day life. She also worked with Mind, providing bereavement counselling and support for anxiety and depression. Chanel has four years of counselling experience and is registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP.
That registration is noted as part of her background and approach to professional practice. In sessions she listens with empathy and kindness and helps people find their own way forward. She aims to help people feel less overwhelmed, find hope and make changes that improve daily life.
People usually begin by talking about what is most pressing. From there she helps them identify manageable steps and ways to cope, focusing on what matters most to the individual.
Client-centred care delivered online
Chanel practises Client-Centred Therapy, which means the conversation follows the person’s lead. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people explore their feelings and priorities at their own pace. This approach is helpful for issues such as anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and life transitions.The work begins by identifying what matters most to the individual. Chanel will collaborate with the person to agree goals and decide how sessions should proceed. Together they review what is helpful and adjust the approach if needed so the therapy fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow more visual contact and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter, more flexible check-ins and can fit around busy days. These options make it easier to match appointments to work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical progress and steady support.
