Aruna Ramkalowon, BACP

Aruna Ramkalowon is a licensed counsellor in the United Kingdom who is BACP qualified - a membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. With six years of professional experience, she has supported people dealing with stress and anxiety, navigating relationship difficulties, coping with grief and loss, and rebuilding motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. As an integrative counsellor, she draws on multiple counselling modalities to shape an approach that aligns with each person’s circumstances and goals.

Aruna approaches her work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she customises both the dialogue and the treatment plan to meet individual needs. She recognises that taking the first step into counselling often requires courage and aims to make that step feel less daunting. She welcomes clients warmly and invites them to begin at a pace that feels comfortable.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Aruna commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their feelings and build self-understanding; this approach is helpful for relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that helps identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve coping with stress. In addition, Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach present-moment awareness and practical strategies for managing rumination and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Aruna collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these approaches to different formats to support individual recovery and growth.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow clients to connect from different locations and to choose the format that suits their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and to combine formats as needed to support progress.
