About Ornella
Ornella Tohme works from a person-centred approach that puts the client at the heart of therapy. She focuses on creating a respectful and compassionate space where people can speak openly and begin to make changes. Ornella uses clear, simple language and adapts sessions to each person's needs.
She has eight years of experience supporting people with stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also helps with depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, anger, career questions and coping with life changes. Sessions aim to identify what matters most and to build practical steps forward. Ornella believes the relationship between counsellor and client is central.
She listens without judgement and encourages clients to explore their feelings at their own pace. Therapy is shaped around the client’s values and goals rather than a fixed formula. She speaks English, Arabic and French, which can help when cultural background or language matters in how problems are understood.
Ornella accepts international clients and works with people across different locations in the United Kingdom. Practical arrangements are discussed at the start so sessions fit into daily life. She adapts the pace, focus and communication style to suit each person.
The intention is to support realistic change and to help people feel more able to manage their day-to-day challenges.

Approaches Ornella lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In practice she adapts how sessions run to suit each person. That may mean slowing the pace, focusing on immediate coping strategies, or working through painful memories at a steady pace. She discusses together with the client which way of working feels most helpful and adjusts as needs or goals change.
Online therapy offers practical options that fit modern life. Video calls let people speak face to face when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier for brief check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These formats aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family and other commitments.
