About Ornella
Ornella Tohme works from a client-centred approach that keeps the person at the heart of therapy. She focuses on building a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk through their concerns and find practical ways forward. Ornella speaks English, Arabic and French and practises from the United Kingdom.
Ornella has eight years of experience in therapeutic work. She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and addictions.
Background and approach
She also helps with grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting pressures, anger, career questions and coping with life changes. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs. She listens first, then tailors the conversation and ongoing plan to what feels most useful for the individual.
The emphasis is on respect and sensitivity during difficult moments, and on empowering people to make changes they want. Ornella encourages small, achievable steps rather than quick fixes. Conversations look at what’s happening now and what practical adjustments could help.
She aims to create a steady, supportive process that fits each person’s pace. If someone prefers to begin with a short matching questionnaire, Ornella follows the responses to plan the next steps together. Her working style is collaborative and straightforward, helping people move from feeling stuck to taking manageable actions.

How Ornella works online
Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. The therapist will work together with the client to decide if client-centred conversations are the best fit for their goals. That decision is revisited over time so the plan stays aligned with changing needs and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a workday. If you are considering remote work with this counsellor, please confirm the exact session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Many people find that remote sessions let them maintain continuity during life transitions and keep therapy practical and accessible.
