About Ornella

Ornella Tohme offers a warm, person-centred approach to therapy. She uses listening and gentle questioning to help people feel understood and to find their own way forward. Ornella speaks English, Arabic and French and works from the United Kingdom.

Ornella focuses on common struggles such as stress and anxiety, depression, grief and addiction. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, and concerns about intimacy and parenting.

Background and approach

Conversations in sessions are shaped around each person’s priorities and experience. Her method is collaborative and practical. Sessions aim to make difficult feelings clearer and to uncover small steps that help life feel more manageable.

Ornella adapts the pace and focus so the work suits the person in the room. Clients can expect a respectful and sensitive space to talk. Ornella emphasises empathy and non-judgement while people tell their story and try different ways of coping.

She encourages realistic goals and practical strategies alongside emotional processing. With eight years of overall experience and BACP listed as a credential, Ornella brings steady support to people at different stages of change. She invites people to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their timing and needs.

Person-centred care online and practical therapy options

Ornella practises client-centred therapy, which focuses on understanding each person without judgement. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people name their feelings so they can decide what matters next. This approach suits stress, anxiety, relationship strains and trauma-related concerns by making space for personal priorities and pacing.

In conversation she encourages people to set their own goals and to test small changes between sessions. Deciding which way of working to use is a shared process. Ornella will talk through options, adjust the focus as needs evolve, and work with each person to find the best fit for their circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls provide face-to-face contact when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions suit times with limited bandwidth or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflection and flexible contact outside standard sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the therapeutic work consistent.
