About Aruna
Aruna Ramkalowon is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, relationships, grief and loss, self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Young adult issues are listed among her focus areas, so she can support people facing pressures tied to leaving home, study, early careers and identity questions.
Aruna uses an integrative approach, mixing different counselling methods to suit each person. In practice she listens to what matters most to the client and adapts how sessions proceed. Conversations are intended to be straightforward and practical, aiming to help people notice patterns and try different ways of coping.
Her background blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas. That means she combines close attention to a person's experience with tools for changing unhelpful thinking and exploring past influences on present feelings. Mindfulness and Jungian perspectives may be included where they fit the client's goals.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete problems such as workplace stress, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting strain and managing ADHD-related challenges. Aruna also lists multicultural concerns, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counselling, hoarding and ageing issues among areas she addresses.
She frames the first meeting as a practical chance to set goals and test whether the approach feels right. The therapist asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking so initial needs and preferences are clear.
How Aruna blends approaches for online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's concerns and reflecting them back. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It gives practical tools for managing anxiety, stress and unhelpful thinking patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences with the client and together they will try approaches that suit those aims. This is a collaborative process and can change as a person's needs evolve.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit counselling into study or work schedules, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep appointments around busy days. Some formats let people use video, others may be phone or messaging; check which are offered so sessions match practical needs rather than assuming a particular setup.
