About Dorothi
Dorothi Oviosu helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and family strain, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief and identity concerns. She also supports people with eating and intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, anger, low self-esteem, career worries, life transitions and attention difficulties.
Dorothi works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and brings nine years of experience to her practice. Dorothi uses practical, hands-on techniques alongside talking therapy.
Background and approach
She often adapts tools such as life graphs, family mapping and sand exercises to help make difficult feelings easier to understand. Sessions aim to be warm, open and straightforward so people can say what matters to them without judgement. Her style is collaborative and person-centred.
Dorothi listens first and helps each person shape a clear plan for change. She draws on attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns and uses cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Clients can expect honesty, consistency and a focus on building autonomy.
Dorothi emphasises small, achievable steps and practical coping strategies. The goal is a clearer sense of direction and more control over day-to-day reactions. Her background includes nine years of practice under the BACP framework.
Dorothi has worked with people from many backgrounds and a wide range of concerns, and she tailors her approach to each individual’s needs.

How Dorothi works online
Client-centred counselling puts the person’s perspective at the heart of each session. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said and supports people to find their own answers and direction.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers clear strategies to test and change unhelpful beliefs and to build new habits for managing anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Dorothi works collaboratively to choose or blend methods based on a person’s goals, preferences and what proves most helpful during early sessions. That means approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list which online formats are used, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make some practical tools simpler to use alongside discussion, helping people practise new skills between sessions.
