Hello and welcome to my corner of the Internet!

I wanted to introduce myself and what I offer in relation to counselling and psychotherapy.

Hi, I'm Oriana, a qualified counsellor/therapist. I believe that therapy should be as unique as you are, which is why I take an integrative approach, combining different methods and techniques tailored to meet your individual needs.
As a person-centred counsellor, my focus is on providing a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Through active listening, empathy, and genuine understanding, I help you make sense of your emotions and empower you to move towards personal growth and healing.

I am deeply passionate about helping individuals who have been impacted by abuse, including domestic violence, sexual abuse, coercion, and control. The aftermath of abuse can affect many areas of your life, from self-esteem and confidence to your motivation and ability to rebuild your future. If you’re dealing with flashbacks or feeling uncertain about how to move forward after abuse, I am here to guide and support you. In addition to my private practice, I work for a domestic violence service, further enhancing my expertise in this area.

Beyond trauma and abuse-related issues, I also support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and other emotional challenges. Whether you're navigating difficult relationships or simply struggling to cope with daily life, I offer compassionate and tailored support to help you heal and move forward.

I understand that taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time seeking support. I am committed to working at your pace, offering a space where you can ask questions and feel comfortable as we work together.

I also offer reduced fee for those on low income and counselling students, as I recognise the importance of accessible support. I am a Manchester based therapist, but work all over UK as work online or telephone.

If you’re ready to start your healing journey, or even if you just want to chat first, feel free to reach out. I’m here to help.

When not doing therapy: I love cooking, being with family and listening to podcasts.
