About Dorothi

Dorothi Oviosu works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and a wide range of other concerns using an integrative counselling approach. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and has nine years' experience as a counsellor.

Dorothi offers person-centred work alongside cognitive behaviour therapy and transactional analysis. Sessions focus on practical tools and straightforward conversation. She uses techniques such as life graphs, Russian dolls, blob family, stress balls and sand to help people map feelings and patterns.

Her approach is direct and respectful. She aims to be open and honest in sessions and encourages individual autonomy when making decisions about change. Sessions give space to notice patterns that are hard to see in everyday life.

Dorothi has worked with people from many different backgrounds on concerns including eating issues, relationship break-ups, family matters and abuse. She also addresses issues such as grief, intimacy, anger, self-esteem, career changes and ADHD-related difficulties.

She is experienced in supporting people with attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, dissociation and stress faced by caregivers. Dorothi also works with matters linked to substance use and domestic violence and with blended family and communication problems. Her practice is grounded in practical tasks and reflective conversation to help people make clearer choices.

How Dorothi uses therapeutic approaches in remote work

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect current connections; it can be useful for abandonment, trust and commitment concerns. Client-centred counselling focuses on the person's experience in the room and uses open conversation to help them find their own solutions; it is practical for building self-esteem and coping with life changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) examines thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this approach is often used for anxiety, depression and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dorothi will discuss goals and preferences and together they will find which methods fit best. She mixes conversational reflection with practical tools so clients can try techniques and see what helps.

The original biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and travel, and they can allow a shorter check-in when time is limited. Remote work also removes the need to travel to appointments and can help maintain continuity when life events make in-person meetings difficult.
