Aruna Ramkalowon, BACP

Aruna Ramkalowon is a UK-licensed counsellor with six years of professional experience and qualification from the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a national professional body for counsellors. She has supported people facing stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, issues with motivation, and concerns around self-esteem and confidence. Aruna practices as an integrative counsellor, drawing on multiple therapeutic methods to shape conversations and interventions that respond to each person’s unique circumstances and goals.

She approaches her work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring both the dialogue and the treatment plan to fit what the individual needs most. Aruna recognises that reaching out for counselling can require courage, and she aims to reduce the sense of overwhelm that can accompany that first step. Her style is client-focused and adaptive, helping people find practical ways to manage difficult feelings and to rebuild confidence at a pace that suits them.

Aruna welcomes new clients and invites anyone seeking support to take a seat and begin the process when they feel ready.

Integrative Approaches for Online Counselling

Aruna combines established therapeutic methods to offer practical, approachable online support. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s experiences and priorities guide the work - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns by teaching concrete strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress - it is often used when clients want structured tools to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of feelings, which can help with anxiety, stress regulation, and strengthening emotional resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Aruna will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan evolves as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it easier to access regular support from home or work, to maintain continuity during life transitions, and to choose the format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
