Novena-Chanel Davies, BACP

Novena-Chanel Davies is a registered integrative counsellor whose work blends clinical training with wider wellbeing practices to support people facing relationship, family and trauma-related challenges. She also brings experience as a counselling supervisor and lecturer, life coach, Reiki master, yoga teacher, media consultant, writer and public speaker, advising on subjects such as childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, race and identity, epigenetics and family trauma, and mental health and self-care.

Working from a holistic and relational stance, Novena-Chanel draws on person-centred, psychodynamic, intercultural, cognitive behavioural and attachment-informed ideas to help clients identify and shift persistent patterns in their lives and relationships. Her approach focuses on practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and on relational work that can interrupt unhealthy generational cycles.

She aims to empower people to move toward their potential while building realistic foundations that support lasting change beyond therapy. Novena-Chanel creates tailored therapy plans with regular reviews and works collaboratively to determine which counselling methods best suit each person and concern, adapting her practice to meet diverse needs and life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support

Novena-Chanel often draws on attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape present-day patterns - this approach focuses on connection, safety and how attachment needs influence current relationships and emotional responses. She also uses client-centred therapy, which centres the person’s experience and emphasises empathy, acceptance and collaboration to support self-discovery and personal growth. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is another key method she employs to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and develop practical skills for managing mood, anxiety and behavioural responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Novena-Chanel works collaboratively with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the plan as needed to ensure the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Novena-Chanel is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility that fits different schedules and lifestyles. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care for people who travel frequently, live at a distance, or need a more accessible way to engage in therapy.
