Oriana Wallace-Johnson, BACP

Oriana Wallace-Johnson is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and affirms the courage that takes to begin. Her tone is warm and straightforward, suitable for someone looking for clear support with day-to-day struggles.

Oriana focuses on stress, anxiety and depression, and she also helps people coping with trauma and abuse. She supports work on self-esteem, confidence and motivation. She helps people who are dealing with grief, relationship or intimacy difficulties, and those facing life changes that feel overwhelming.

Her approach centres on client-centred therapy, which means sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and pace. In practice she listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and follows the client’s lead to decide what to work on next. This style is useful for talking through feelings, clarifying priorities, and building confidence to try new ways of coping.

Oriana also has experience with concerns such as chronic pain, fertility challenges, domestic violence, isolation and obsessional difficulties. She is comfortable talking about money worries, career strain and questions of life purpose. The focus is practical - identifying small changes that make daily life easier.

Sessions are conducted in English and Oriana does not take international clients. She has weekend morning availability in her current schedule. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then book according to the therapist’s timetable.

Client-centred support and online therapy

Client-centred therapy places the client at the heart of decisions about what to work on. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client’s lead. This approach suits people who want a space to be heard and to make sense of feelings like anxiety, depression or grief.

Oriana concentrates on simple practical steps alongside reflective listening. That means clarifying what matters most, trying small changes between sessions, and checking in about what helps. This collaborative way of working means the therapist and client decide together which techniques or topics to try next.

Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also suit people who prefer not to use video for a given session, or who need appointments at times outside standard working hours. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients choose the approach and format that best fit their needs and daily routines.
