Oriana Wallace-Johnson
Calm, client-led counselling for everyday struggles
About Oriana
Oriana Wallace-Johnson trained and practises in the United Kingdom and brings four years of professional experience to her work. She holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide her counselling approach. Oriana focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and depression.
She also supports people coping with trauma, self-esteem struggles and life changes. Oriana aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly. She encourages people to move at their own pace and to name feelings and thoughts that feel difficult.
Background and approach
Sessions are grounded in a client-centred way of working, which means the person sets the focus and pace. Her practice covers relationship worries, grief and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps with sleep problems, parenting strains and career uncertainty.
Additional areas include chronic pain and illness, fertility concerns, feelings of emptiness, jealousy and issues linked to infidelity. Oriana uses conversational, practical techniques to help people find small changes that make a real difference day to day. She listens for patterns that keep problems going and offers alternatives people can try between sessions.
The work aims to reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of agency. Sessions are offered in English and are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. She does not take international clients.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

Client-centred care online and how it helps
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a set formula. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what the person says and follows their lead. This approach helps when someone wants to feel understood and make sense of their own experience, such as with anxiety, low mood or relationship concerns.The aim is to build a supportive working relationship where goals come from the client. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what matters most and try different ways of working to find the best fit. That process can involve adjusting the focus or trying shorter check-ins depending on what a person needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be quicker and work well when someone has low bandwidth or prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking.
These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, childcare or other commitments. Registered or accredited professionals deliver sessions and will help match the approach and format to the client’s goals and preferences.
