Ornella tailors conversations and treatment plans to meet each client’s unique needs, prioritising the individual’s goals and preferences. She emphasises empowerment and practical support, recognising that seeking change requires courage and commitment. As a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she follows recognised professional standards for counselling and psychotherapy in the UK.

Client-Centred Care and Online Access

Client-Centred Therapy is the core of Ornella’s practice. This approach focuses on the client’s experience, offering non-judgemental listening and empathy while helping people explore their feelings and choices. It is often used to address stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and the effects of trauma by strengthening self-understanding and self-direction.

Alongside person-centred work, Ornella places emphasis on collaborative, individualised planning. This means she and the client work together to shape the goals and methods of therapy so the support fits the client’s needs, pace, and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Ornella is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives, help overcome geographical barriers, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable. The approach aims to combine professional therapeutic support from a registered professional with practical accessibility and choice.
