About Gifty
Gifty Ogene is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 12 years of experience working in the personal sector in the United Kingdom. She is registered with NCPS and supports people with a wide range of emotional concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties and addiction.
Gifty aims to meet each person with respect for their culture and beliefs and keeps a non-judgemental stance in her work. She offers both counselling and psychotherapy, and explains the difference in plain terms.
Background and approach
Counselling focuses on listening and helping a person speak about a difficulty to find workable solutions. Psychotherapy looks more at ideas, emotions and life moments to build new coping ways and insight. Gifty uses a mix of approaches to suit the person she is working with.
She draws on client-centred methods to build a trusting relationship and core conditions that support growth. She also brings in cognitive behavioural ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking and practical patterns. Attachment-based and trauma-focused ideas inform her work when past relationships or upsetting events are affecting present life.
She has experience helping people after bereavement and supports those struggling with grief, shock and the reorganisation that follows loss. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients may be accepted.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Gifty commonly uses client-centred work that puts the person's experiences and goals first. This approach focuses on listening, building trust and responding to what the client brings, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship needs.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small, practical experiments to change how they cope with stress, depression or trauma-related symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then adapt methods as therapy progresses in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video sessions are close to face-to-face work and suit deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, more frequent contact and can fit around busy days or different time zones. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and shape therapy around daily life.
