About Oriana
Oriana Wallace-Johnson is a BACP member practising in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Oriana also supports people facing parenting strains and relationship concerns, and helps with practical life changes and career issues.
Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy. Sessions focus on listening without judgment and following what matters most to the individual. Conversations aim to clarify feelings, sort priorities and find manageable next steps rather than rush to solutions.
Oriana pays attention to the everyday pressures that make coping harder. She will talk through problems such as grief, sleep disturbance, intimacy-related issues and the effects of chronic illness on daily life. She also addresses concerns like guilt, shame, jealousy and the fallout from infidelity or domestic violence in ways that keep the client in control of what to address and when.
Practical matters are part of the work. Discussions can include communication skills, handling money stress, parenting-related strain and planning for midlife changes. Sessions are conversational and paced to the client’s needs, with time to reflect between sittings.
People who want straightforward, person-focused conversation about life stresses may find this approach helpful. To arrange a first session, follow the site’s steps to view online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire.
How sessions work
Client-Centred work and online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy puts the client’s experience at the centre. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is heard and lets the conversation move at the client’s pace. This approach helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship worries and the emotional impact of life changes.The emphasis is on understanding and responding to what the client brings. The counsellor collaborates with the person to identify what matters most and to agree on steps to try between sessions. Finding the right way of working is part of the process and will be reviewed together as needs and goals evolve.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, since the biography does not specify them here. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around family and work commitments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or phone conversations when that suits practical constraints. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online options to help clients fit therapy into everyday life, and Oriana will discuss how to shape sessions so they work for the individual.
