About Dorothi
Dorothi Oviosu is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of practice. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and issues linked to identity and intimacy. She also works with concerns such as grief, eating and parenting difficulties, anger, self-esteem, career shifts, coping with life changes and ADHD.
Her approach mixes several ways of working so conversations focus on what matters now. Sessions tend to be person-centred, with practical tools introduced when helpful. Clients may use visual exercises and simple activities to clarify feelings and patterns.
Dorothi uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current connections. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness practices are included for grounding and stress reduction.
People who choose her often work on relationship patterns, communication problems, codependency and issues around abandonment and attachment. She also addresses more specific concerns like addiction, eating-related difficulties, dissociation and the impact of domestic violence or separation.
The emphasis is practical and straightforward. Dorothi aims to help people identify small, repeatable changes that improve day-to-day coping. She follows the BACP ethical framework in her practice and works with clients in English.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. Online sessions using this approach help people notice repeating patterns in relationships and practise different responses in everyday life. CBT, or cognitive behavioural therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers simple experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting. DBT teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance and repairing communication when things escalate.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then agree which methods to try together. That makes the process collaborative rather than prescriptive, and lets techniques be adjusted as things change.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into study, work and shifting schedules. It can make it simpler to keep regular sessions during moves or busy weeks. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered and how they fit your day-to-day life.
