Chanel Muharrem, BACP

Chanel Muharrem is a registered counsellor with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), a professional body in the United Kingdom. She practices using a Client-Centred approach that places the person seeking help at the heart of the process, allowing them to set their own agenda and move at a pace that feels right for them. Chanel is committed to empowering people through counselling so they can improve their wellbeing and quality of life, and she works collaboratively to find the right way forward for each individual.

She has experience supporting people with anxiety and low mood, low confidence and self-esteem, relationship difficulties, work-related stress, bereavement and loss, and life transitions such as ageing, menopause, retirement, and milestone birthdays. Chanel has helped clients with personal development and with the practical and emotional challenges that accompany change, drawing on her background working with professionals in high-pressure City roles and supporting students and staff in academia. Those roles gave her insight into what people need when they feel overwhelmed and how to help them navigate forward.

Chanel’s counselling experience includes work with Mind, where she supported people facing anxiety, depression, and bereavement. She currently practices through the platform, Mind’s Dove Private Service, and her private practice. She listens without judgment and offers empathy, kindness, and care, providing a space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings and seek a new way forward.

Client-Centered Support and Online Access

Chanel practices Client-Centered Therapy, a person-led approach that focuses on listening, understanding, and reflecting back what matters most to the individual. This method helps people explore their thoughts and feelings without pressure, supporting work on issues such as anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, grief, and life transitions. Chanel also brings experience in bereavement counselling and in supporting professionals facing high-pressure work and academic environments, offering practical, empathetic support tailored to those situations.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Chanel works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She encourages clients to shape the pace and focus of sessions so therapy can adapt as circumstances change.

Online therapy with Chanel is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility constraints. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to meet clients where they are, making it easier to access ongoing support while balancing daily life and commitments.
