About Deena
Deena Ramkhelawon is a counsellor with 17 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress and relationship strains. She also supports those coping with parenting pressures, career worries and life changes.
She aims to make the first step easier. Sessions are offered in a warm, non-judgemental way where clients can talk about their thoughts and feelings. Deena uses a collaborative style that helps people gain clarity and build confidence.
Background and approach
Her background includes several approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She also draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to understand how past experiences affect current patterns. Deena has particular experience with obsessive thoughts and related behaviours, including work on panic, phobias and compulsions.
Her work often combines practical skills, gentle exploration and agreed exercises between sessions. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. New people start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then book sessions based on the usual scheduling process.
She is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values and take small steps towards what matters to them. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, works on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing practical changes through tasks and experiments. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, phobias and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change repeating dynamics that affect relationships and self-worth.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then agree a plan together. This means methods can be blended and adjusted as the client’s needs evolve.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and use screen-sharing for worksheets and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when internet bandwidth is low. Live chat or text-based messaging suits short check-ins, quick skill practice, or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and everyday life while keeping the focus on progress and outcomes.
