Chanel Muharrem
Client-centred counsellor for life changes
About Chanel
Chanel Muharrem works from a Client-Centred approach that places each person at the heart of their own counselling. She uses listening and gentle reflection so clients set the pace and choose what to focus on. Chanel welcomes straightforward conversations and practical steps tailored to what matters to the client.
She has four years of experience supporting people through anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief and losses, work and career pressure, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Compassion fatigue, stress and problems linked to trauma and abuse are also within her scope. Chanel has supported people with family of origin concerns, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency and communication problems. She also works with those dealing with infidelity, abandonment, commitment worries, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.
These are addressed in straightforward, practical conversations rather than jargon. Before counselling she worked in the City and later in higher education, where she supported staff, students and colleagues under pressure. That background gives her a practical understanding of workplace and academic stresses.
Her UK practice includes experience volunteering as a bereavement counsellor at Mind. Chanel is registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, abbreviated as BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are delivered online through several formats to fit different needs.

How Client-Centred Therapy translates to online care
Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the centre of the process and focuses on warmth, listening and acceptance. In practice this means Chanel reflects what you say, asks gentle questions and helps you find your own solutions for issues such as anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles and grief.Her online work keeps the same approach while adapting to different formats. Conversations by video allow a face-to-face feel and visual cues, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can work well for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier to express difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Chanel will collaborate with each person to decide which way of working fits best based on goals, needs and personal preference. That might mean starting with one format and changing it later as things move forward.
Online therapy offers practical benefits, such as fitting sessions around work or study, avoiding travel time, and choosing formats to match energy levels and technology access. Registered and accredited professionals provide these options so people can match the way they meet to what helps them make progress.
