About Ornella
Ornella Tohme is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, anger, career concerns and major life changes. Ornella offers conversational, person-centred work that focuses on what matters to the client right now.
Ornella uses Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person's views and priorities at the heart of sessions. She listens without judgement and follows the client's lead to explore difficulties at a manageable pace. Sessions aim to clarify patterns that cause repeated frustration and to develop practical ways of responding differently.
Her background includes eight years working in therapeutic settings in the UK. She draws on that practical experience when helping people handle anger, reduce stress, manage relationship tensions, or cope with the aftermath of trauma. Ornella pays attention to what causes the issue and to how it shows up day to day.
In sessions she will usually start by asking about current concerns and what a better day looks like. From there she and the client set short-term goals and revisit them as progress is made. The focus is on clear conversation, straightforward reflection, and building skills people can use between meetings.
Sessions are offered in English, Arabic and French. International clients are accepted, and practical arrangements are confirmed when booking. Prospective clients are asked to use the site matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
How Client-Centred work translates to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy centres on the client's perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client's lead. This approach helps with feeling heard, working through anger reactions, and sorting out relationship or family tensions.The second key element is straightforward conversational work. Sessions focus on present concerns, clarify patterns that cause stress or repeated anger, and explore practical responses to try between meetings. That makes the work concrete and action-oriented rather than theoretical.
Finding the right way of working is collaborative. Ornella will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which approaches suit the person's needs. She checks progress as you go and adjusts the way sessions run based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when full sessions are difficult, and let people join from different locations if travel would be a barrier. These practical benefits can help people keep regular contact with a therapist and apply new ways of managing anger and stress in everyday life.
