Ornella Tohme

Ornella Tohme is a BACP counsellor who uses a client-centred way of working to help people manage anger and related stresses. She speaks English, Arabic and French and offers support for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and coping with life changes. Ornella presents a calm, respectful approach and focuses on what matters to each person she meets.

She has eight years of practice experience and frames sessions around the individual’s needs. Conversations are tailored so people can explore feelings at their own pace. That can include looking at triggers for anger, unhelpful cycles, and practical coping ideas to try between sessions.

Ornella describes her therapeutic stance as sensitive and compassionate. She aims to empower people to make changes that feel sustainable. The work is conversational and grounded in listening rather than rigid techniques.

Her background in the United Kingdom forms the basis of her practice. Her BACP credential is recorded as part of her professional details. She will work with international clients and can support people in one of three languages depending on their preference.

People considering therapy are invited to think about what they most want to change. Ornella encourages small, manageable steps and regular review of progress. Her style suits those who prefer a respectful, person-led space to talk through difficult emotions and day-to-day challenges.

How client‑centred therapy translates to online work

Client-centred therapy is about listening carefully and following the person’s lead. The therapist creates space for people to talk about what matters most to them and reflects back what she hears to help clarity. This approach can be useful for anger, stress, relationship concerns and grief because it focuses on understanding feelings before moving on to change.

In practice the therapist’s role is to offer empathy and acceptance while helping people notice patterns and options. Sessions tend to be conversational and paced to the individual, so goals and methods are decided together rather than imposed. That collaborative approach helps tailor the work to your needs and preferences.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Many people find online work helpful because it makes fitting therapy into a busy life easier, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes travel time. Ornella will work with you to find an approach and rhythm that suit your goals and day-to-day routine.
