About Aruna
Aruna Ramkalowon helps people with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, self‑esteem and life changes using a blend of approaches that she adapts to each person. She is a BACP counsellor and has six years of professional experience in the UK.
Aruna works in an integrative way, combining client‑centred listening with elements from other therapies. Sessions focus on clear, practical conversation about the issues that matter to the client. She aims to make the first steps into counselling more manageable and less daunting.
In sessions she will listen to current concerns and explore how those difficulties affect day‑to‑day life. Practical exercises and reflective discussion may be used to address stress, anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation and confidence. Relationship and intimacy‑related issues are discussed in terms of how they affect the individual involved.
She also works with problems linked to parenting, workplace stress, compassion fatigue, addictions and grief. Additional focus areas include ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, attachment issues, hoarding, hospice and end‑of‑life matters, multicultural concerns and young adult issues.
Aruna uses a mix of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic and Jungian ideas alongside mindfulness and client‑centred practice. This allows conversations to move between present coping strategies and deeper patterns that influence feelings and behaviour. She works in English and practises in the United Kingdom.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client‑centred therapy places the client’s perspective at the heart of sessions and focuses on open listening and reflection; it helps people clarify their feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping skills. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing techniques that can reduce stress and improve focus and emotional regulation.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss the client’s goals and preferences and will help decide which approaches to try. That collaborative decision can change over time as different issues are explored and new strategies are needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel, and can reduce time spent on commuting. It also allows shorter check‑ins when needed, or meetings without video if that suits the client better. Registered or accredited professionals can work this way to help people maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into everyday life.
