About Gifty
Gifty Ogene is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 12 years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people with emotional difficulties and relationship strain, and has substantial hospice-related experience helping bereaved relatives, carers and friends process loss. Gifty works in a non-judgemental way and attends to each person's cultural background and beliefs.
She has spent a decade offering support to those grieving after a death in hospice care, helping people manage shock, disorganisation and the slow process of recovery. She also has experience with relationship concerns, including communication problems, infidelity and financial tensions, gained over several years working with couples.
Her day-to-day work covers stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief and compassion fatigue. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, self-esteem, career worries and life changes. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, eating problems and caregiver stress.
Gifty uses a blend of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on a client-centred model to build a trusting therapeutic relationship, psychodynamic ideas to explore how past patterns affect the present, and cognitive behavioural techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and relationship-focused ideas also appear in her practice when useful.
She holds NCPS as a credential and works with people in English. People who want to start can expect a straightforward process to set up an initial meeting and discuss goals before planning ongoing work.

How her approaches translate to online work
Many clients benefit from a mix of methods. Client‑centred work focuses on listening and creating space for the person to lead. It helps when someone needs emotional support and a non-judgemental relationship to sort through feelings.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It offers clear, practical steps to test different thoughts and try small behaviour changes that can reduce anxiety or low mood.
Attachment‑based ideas explore how early relationships shape current expectations in close connections. This can help people understand patterns in intimacy, abandonment worries or communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then agree a blend of methods to try. That process is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
If you want online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking. The main practical advantages of online work are easier scheduling, the ability to fit appointments around daily life and less travel time. Sessions can also be adapted to shorter check‑ins or longer therapy blocks to suit your needs.
