About Dorothi
Dorothi Oviosu offers help for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, depression and addiction. She works with a wide range of concerns including grief, intimacy issues, eating and parenting challenges, self-esteem and career pressures. Dorothi aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can begin to make sense of difficult feelings and decide on practical steps forward.
She is a BACP counsellor with nine years of experience in practice in the United Kingdom.
Background and approach
Her approach is integrative and rooted in warmth, honesty and openness. Dorothi uses clear, tangible tools in sessions such as life graphs, blob family exercises and sand work to help people see patterns and make changes. Sessions focus on giving clients time to be heard and on practical ways to cope between meetings.
She encourages autonomy and collaborative planning so each person has a map for their progress. Techniques may include mindful exercises and skills drawn from cognitive and dialectical approaches to manage stress and strong emotions. Dorothi pays attention to attachment and how early relationships shape current patterns.
She helps people understand abandonment, communication or trust issues and guides them towards healthier ways of relating. The work is paced according to each person’s needs. People can expect straightforward language and short, goal-focused steps alongside space to reflect.
Dorothi aims to walk alongside clients as they build new coping strategies and regain a sense of control in their lives.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and connections. It helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment or repeating relationship patterns to understand what drives their reactions and to try different ways of relating.Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard without judgement and on giving the person control of the pace and direction. This approach supports people who need a steady, accepting space to make sense of emotions before taking practical steps.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress by offering structured exercises that can be practised between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper reflection, phone calls can fit into a busy day or use less bandwidth, and messaging suits brief check-ins or written reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caring duties or travel.
