About Celestina
Celestina Oniye-Thomas is a BACP counsellor with two decades of experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She focuses on practical conversation and gentle challenge to help people move forward. Her approach is respectful and tailored to each person.
She has worked with issues around relationships, family strain, trauma and abuse, parenting stresses and intimacy concerns. She also helps people struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem and career pressures.
Background and approach
Celestina offers support for body image, eating concerns, codependency and the emotional effects of adoption or foster care. Her style combines practical tools and reflective exploration. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and actions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, and mindfulness to build present-moment skills.
She also uses psychodynamic and Jungian ideas when helpful to understand patterns coming from earlier relationships. Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. People can expect to talk through current problems, try simple experiments between sessions, and review what helps most.
Celestina adapts the pace to each person and focuses on clear, achievable steps. She offers sessions from the United Kingdom and speaks English. People who want to begin are invited to take a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions at a convenient time.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to current concerns, goals and preferences and suggest an initial way of working. This is reviewed together, so the plan can change if something else seems a better fit. The process is collaborative and paced according to what the person needs.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone call, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging can suit shorter check-ins, note-taking, or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping focus on the therapeutic goals.
