Oriana Wallace-Johnson, BACP

Oriana Wallace-Johnson is a UK-based therapist with four years of professional experience and a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation challenges, low self-esteem and confidence issues, and depression, guiding them toward clearer coping and greater emotional balance.

Oriana works from a client-centered stance, creating an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored at the client’s pace. She aims to listen with empathy and to collaborate on goals that matter to each person, recognising the courage it takes to begin therapy. Currently she has availability on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and she encourages prospective clients to take the first step when they feel ready.

Client-centered approaches and flexible online care

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. In practice this means the therapist listens with empathy, reflects what is shared, and supports the client to explore their own solutions. This approach is well suited to concerns such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, coping with life changes, and emotional reactions to trauma and loss.

Because every person’s needs differ, Oriana works collaboratively with clients to determine which ways of working feel most helpful. She will discuss goals, preferences, and practical constraints and tailor the therapeutic approach so it aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and some work can continue through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to access support from home, and to maintain continuity of care when schedules change, while still allowing licensed professionals and therapists to build a trusting, goal-focused therapeutic relationship.
