About Oriana
Oriana Wallace-Johnson helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self‑esteem, depression and coping with life changes using a client‑centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of professional experience.
She offers a calm, listening way of working that focuses on what the client brings. Sessions give space to set the pace and name the issues that matter most. Practical problems such as sleep, parenting pressures and career decisions are included alongside emotional concerns like grief, intimacy and feelings of emptiness.
Oriana draws on client‑centred therapy to follow each person’s priorities. That means conversations focus on personal experience and strengths rather than a set programme. This approach can suit people facing life transitions, relationship conflict, or the aftermath of abuse.
Her practice also covers a range of additional concerns such as chronic pain and illness, fertility worries, problems with trust or infidelity, financial stress and obsessive thoughts. She works with feelings around abandonment, shame, jealousy and isolation, and with mood and compulsive symptoms.
Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s matching process to pick a counsellor, complete a short questionnaire and book a first session.
How client‑centred work translates to online counselling
Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities. In practice this means the counsellor listens without directing the conversation and follows what the client brings. This approach can help with stress, relationship issues, grief and emotional responses to trauma.
That same focus transfers into remote sessions by keeping the work collaborative. The counsellor and client check goals together, review what helps, and adjust the way they work as needed. The aim is to find an approach that fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than imposing a fixed method.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life and can reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check‑ins or sessions that do not require video if that better suits the person’s day. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements when you schedule your first session to find what will work best.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
