About Oriana
Oriana Wallace-Johnson trained as a counsellor and holds BACP accreditation. She has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and works with people who are dealing with worry, low mood, trauma, and relationship or life-change stresses. She aims to make the first appointments calm and straightforward.
She helps people put words to difficult feelings and notices what gets in the way of change. Sessions focus on listening, understanding, and working out small, practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Oriana uses a client-centred approach. That means the session follows the person, not a fixed script. She gives space for whoever is speaking to be heard and supported while helping them clarify what matters most to them.
Typical concerns she addresses include anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and abuse, problems with self-esteem and confidence, sleep difficulties, and grief. She also supports people facing issues such as chronic illness, fertility worries, relationship challenges like jealousy or infidelity, parenting strain, and career or money stress. Her style is steady and non-judgemental.
People can expect practical conversation about current problems alongside exploration of patterns that keep those problems going. New clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then can schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Oriana works in English and is based in the UK.
International clients are not currently accepted, so bookings should be made by people located in the United Kingdom.

How Oriana works online
The core idea is that people know their own experience best, and the counsellor's role is to provide understanding and support. In online work this looks the same - the therapist attends to the person's concerns and helps them decide what to try next.
Finding the right approach is part of starting therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques and pacing that match a person's goals and preferences. If something doesn't feel helpful, it will be discussed and adjusted together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people stay consistent with appointments when life gets hectic, while still focusing on practical, step-by-step change.
