About Noya
Noya Hoffman is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face anxiety, depression and stress, and has a particular focus on young adult issues such as leaving home, starting work or study, and feeling behind peers.
She offers short-term, focused therapy and collaborates with people to set clear goals. Sessions begin by building a shared formulation of what is causing difficulty and where the client wants to get to. That creates a simple map to guide the work.
Noya combines several ways of working rather than using a single method. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns of thought and behaviour, and uses psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape present reactions. Solution-focused tools help break big problems into manageable steps.
Her practical approach aims to give clients techniques they can use between sessions. This may include trying different strategies, testing what works, and reviewing progress together. The pace and focus are agreed with each person.
Noya works with a wide range of concerns including mood disorders, trauma and relationship issues. She also supports people dealing with workplace stress, eating difficulties, ADHD-related struggles and feelings of shame or avoidance. She offers sessions in English and is based in the United Kingdom.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking and commit to values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and the frustration of feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and testing small experiments to change them. It often helps with panic, mood problems and workplace stress.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also make it simpler to balance study, work shifts and other commitments while keeping regular appointments.
