Aruna Ramkalowon
Practical, respectful counselling for everyday struggles
About Aruna
Aruna Ramkalowon welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about next steps. She offers calm, down-to-earth support for common problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Aruna explains things simply and helps people work out small steps they can use right away.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sessions often focus on talking through what matters most to the client and trying practical tools to change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Aruna also draws on ideas about how life history and inner meanings shape feelings and behaviour. With six years of experience, Aruna has helped people with grief, career questions, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and addiction-related concerns. She also supports those navigating life changes, ADHD-related issues, workplace stress, and challenges connected to ageing or caring roles.
Aruna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Appointments can be arranged using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs.
Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. New clients are guided through a short matching process and then invited to plan sessions that fit their schedule. Aruna aims to keep each conversation practical and focused on what the person wants to achieve.
People who prefer a collaborative, adaptable counsellor may find her approach helpful. She encourages gentle progress rather than quick fixes, and tailors support to the individual rather than following a rigid script.

Approaches that work well online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding what matters to the person and building a safe, respectful space for them to talk. It helps when someone needs empathy and a non-judgemental listener to sort out feelings and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for worry, low mood, stress and problems that respond to step-by-step coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the client's goals, preferences and life context and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when time and bandwidth permit. Phone sessions can be a good fit when a quieter, hands-free option is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing over talking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
