About Dorothi
Dorothi Oviosu helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, LGBT issues, eating difficulties, parenting strains, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes. She works with adults who are also managing ADHD and related challenges. Dorothi explains therapy in simple terms and aims to make the first step more approachable.
She draws on nine years of practice and works within the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy framework.
Background and approach
Dorothi uses practical tools in sessions such as life graphs, visual family maps and guided exercises to make thoughts and feelings easier to talk about. Sessions are grounded in warmth, honesty and respect for the person’s autonomy. Her style is collaborative and non-judgemental.
She offers a listening space where people can notice patterns they missed before and try different ways to cope. She encourages people to take small steps that build confidence over time. Dorothi combines person-centred ways of listening with approaches that focus on patterns of thinking and behaviour.
She also draws on ideas about attachment and mindfulness to help with emotions and close relationships. This mix lets her adapt to each person’s needs. Practical techniques and discussion are balanced in sessions.
People can expect clear, down-to-earth explanations and tools they can use between meetings. The aim is to give structure while respecting each person’s pace and choices.

Online support
Client-centred work places the person’s experience at the heart of the session and uses empathetic listening to help someone make sense of their feelings. This approach supports people who need time and space to be heard and to find their own direction.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that contribute to distress and practising small, manageable changes. Online CBT often combines discussion with simple tasks and exercises to try between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will usually be decided together. The therapist will ask about your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. That way sessions can be adjusted over time if something is not working.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as fitting sessions around work or family commitments, choosing quieter times without travel, and using phone or text options when video is not convenient. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to make therapy more flexible and accessible.
