Deena Ramkhelawon, BACP

Deena Ramkhelawon is a UK-based therapist with 17 years of practice, offering a calm, empathic approach to a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties. She brings an integrative background that draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered and psychodynamic ideas, and specific techniques such as Exposure and Response Prevention for obsessive-compulsive disorder. Her practice supports people facing common life stresses as well as more disabling conditions like OCD, anxiety and depression, and she often works with relationship and family concerns including parenting, separation and communication challenges.

Deena creates a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore thoughts, feelings and patterns and work toward greater clarity, coping and confidence. She works collaboratively to develop treatment plans tailored to each person, combining psychoeducation with practical strategies at a pace the client finds comfortable. She is particularly committed to working with people affected by OCD and uses ERP alongside other approaches to address different symptom patterns and subtypes.

Registered with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she supports clients with issues such as stress, low self-esteem, burnout, chronic illness, grief, and attachment or abandonment concerns. Her practice emphasizes respect for each person s unique experience while helping them identify steps toward change and improved wellbeing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Deena uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify what matters most so they can take committed steps toward a more meaningful life. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, stress and when life feels unsettled.

Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. This approach can support work on attachment issues, abandonment concerns and family or parenting difficulties by strengthening understanding and relational skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Deena works collaboratively with each client to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining methods when that will best support progress.

Online therapy with Deena is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from home or work and to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or changing.
