About Gifty
Gifty Ogene is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 12 years' experience supporting emotional wellbeing. She works with individuals and couples, and brings a non-judgemental style to conversations about difficult issues. She is registered with NCPS and practises in the United Kingdom.
She has extensive experience supporting people through grief, including relatives, carers and friends of those who died in hospice care. She helps people work through loss, shock and the confusing stages that follow bereavement.
Background and approach
This support focuses on understanding the change and finding ways to reorganise life after loss. She also offers help for relationship problems. That includes communication breakdowns, infidelity, unforgiveness and financial conflict.
Gifty uses a mix of approaches to address how past patterns shape present relationships and to improve how partners express needs and rebuild trust. Her approach is practical and person-centred. She uses the person-centred model to create a respectful space, psychodynamic ideas to look at how early experiences affect current behaviour, and cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking.
Mindfulness and attachment ideas also guide her work where relevant. Across other concerns she supports people with anxiety, depression, addictions, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem and career changes. She also works with issues such as codependency, attachment wounds, body image and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Gifty aims to build a steady therapeutic relationship while maintaining clear boundaries. People who prefer a down-to-earth, culturally aware counsellor may find her style helpful. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients can be supported.

How Gifty works online
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try. This collaborative planning helps shape sessions that fit the person's situation and aims.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel. It may allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practice to work well in remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
