Oriana Wallace-JohnsonBACP

Oriana Wallace-Johnson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and depression. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people feel heard when they first reach out.

She creates an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through plainly. Sessions aim to help clients notice patterns, manage strong emotions, and make small changes that feel achievable. She encourages gentle steps rather than sudden fixes.

People come to her with a wide range of concerns, from grief and relationship worries to sleep problems and career stress. She also works with issues such as fertility-related distress, chronic pain or illness, feelings of emptiness, and difficulties around intimacy. These topics are discussed in straightforward language so clients can make sense of what matters most to them.

Oriana uses a client-centred style that puts the person’s experience first. She listens closely and follows the pace that each person needs. This helps clients feel more in control as they explore difficult memories or life transitions.

Her practical focus includes coping tools for daily life and conversational work to clarify values and next steps. If you are thinking about starting therapy, she asks for a short matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions according to availability.

How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects back what she hears, and follows the client’s lead. This approach helps with issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns by building understanding and emotional safety.

Working collaboratively is part of the process. Oriana will help you decide what methods feel most useful, based on your needs, goals and preferences. Together you can try different ways of approaching a problem and adjust what you do if something does not fit.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to meet at times that suit shift patterns or caring responsibilities. Registered or accredited professionals can guide you through what will work best for your situation and help arrange sessions that match your routine and goals.
