Deena Ramkhelawon
Compassionate counsellor for anxiety and life changes
About Deena
Deena Ramkhelawon brings 17 years of experience as a counsellor working across a wide range of common and complex difficulties. She holds BACP accreditation and practises in the United Kingdom. Deena aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and begin to find clearer ways forward.
Her style is warm and empathic. She listens first and helps people identify what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems cycling. Deena draws on a blend of approaches to suit each person rather than relying on a single method. Deena commonly supports people facing stress, anxiety and depression.
She also works with concerns around relationships, self-esteem, parenting pressures, career strain and life changes. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and communication problems. Her therapeutic toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic ideas, attachment-based work and client-centred listening.
These are adapted to a person’s needs so sessions can include practical skills, reflective discussion or problem-focused work. Sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
Fees vary with location and the service uses a cancellable subscription model.

Sessions & fees
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take steps that match their values. Online ACT sessions often mix short exercises with conversation to clarify what matters and build small changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviours and physical reactions and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT online typically uses short skills practice, behavioural experiments and clear tasks between sessions to build progress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their goals and preferences. Some people prefer practical skill-building, others favour reflective exploration, and many benefit from a mix of both; this is agreed collaboratively.
Online formats offer a lot of practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or flexible scheduling during busy days. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and health demands while using therapeutic approaches that suit the individual.
