About Noya
Noya Hoffman works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or major life changes. She is a compassionate counsellor who aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. Noya uses clear goals and short-term focus when that suits the person who comes for help.
She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That can include cognitive behavioural ideas to spot and change unhelpful thinking, psychodynamic ways of looking at patterns from the past, and solution-focused steps to make immediate life changes.
Background and approach
Noya explains options and agrees a plan with each client before therapy begins. Her approach is collaborative. She helps people build a simple formulation of the problem, set realistic goals and try out different techniques.
Sessions are presented as an active process rather than just talking, with practical strategies to manage moods, panic, or persistent worry. Noya is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which she lists as BACP.
She has around ten years of experience working with a wide range of concerns including bipolar and mood disorders, trauma and abuse, eating issues, ADHD and workplace stress. People who meet with her can expect a calm, non-judgemental space and steady encouragement to try new ways of coping.
If you are thinking about starting therapy, Noya works with you to find a clear focus so each session feels purposeful.

How Noya works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you will try methods and adjust the plan as you learn what fits best for your situation.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier by cutting travel and allowing appointments during work breaks or between commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or quieter, camera-free conversations when that suits you best.
