About Deena
Deena Ramkhelawon is a counsellor with 17 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression, and she supports those coping with relationship and family difficulties or big life changes. Deena also focuses on career concerns, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.
Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. She builds a trusting relationship so people can talk through thoughts and feelings at a pace that suits them.
Background and approach
Deena encourages practical steps as well as helping clients understand patterns that keep causing pain. Deena uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and commit to small changes.
She uses Attachment-Based work to look at childhood and relationship patterns that affect current life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different ways of responding. She has particular experience supporting people with obsessive thoughts, panic and other anxiety problems, and she offers tailored work for those living with chronic illness or caregiver stress.
Deena also helps with divorce and separation, grief, money worries and career decisions. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment. Sessions form a collaborative process where the counsellor and client plan goals and decide how to work towards them together.

How Deena works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is made together and can change as progress happens.
Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits, or let someone choose an option that does not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors aim to make remote work practical and focused on achieving real goals.
