About Deena
Deena Ramkhelawon is a counsellor with 17 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She holds BACP registration, which means she follows professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk and think things through at their own pace.
Her approach blends several ways of working so sessions can be adapted to what each person needs.
Background and approach
Deena uses practical skills from cognitive behavioural methods alongside acceptance and commitment ideas to help when worry or low mood feel overwhelming. She also draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at past patterns that keep repeating. People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including relationship and family stress, parenting strain, self-esteem problems and career or money worries.
She also supports those coping with chronic illness, caregiver fatigue, obsessive thoughts, panic and phobias. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon-filled theory. Deena describes the therapeutic relationship as a place to explore thoughts and feelings without judgement.
She works collaboratively, helping people set goals and try different ways of coping between meetings. Progress is reviewed regularly so the work stays relevant and practical. Sessions are offered online in English to people in the United Kingdom.
The initial step is a short assessment to set out priorities and agree a plan that suits the client’s day-to-day life.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often called CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It teaches practical techniques to reduce worry and manage unhelpful thinking patterns, which can be useful for panic, phobias, OCD symptoms and mood problems.
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early relationships shape current reactions and close connections. This can help people understand recurring relationship patterns, abandonment worries and family tensions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the person’s needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as the work progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat options suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health demands.
