Deena Ramkhelawon

Deena Ramkhelawon is a counsellor with 17 years' experience offering practical, down-to-earth support. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and parenting concerns. She also helps those dealing with career pressures, life changes and compassion fatigue. Deena holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded here as BACP.

Deena aims to make sessions straightforward and calm. She uses clear explanations and gentle questioning so people can talk through what matters most. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space that helps people begin to make sense of upsetting thoughts and feelings.

Her background includes a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. This lets her draw on practical skills work alongside talking that looks at deeper patterns. Clients are encouraged to try out new ways of responding to stress and relationships.

Deena has particular experience with obsessive thoughts and compulsions, panic and phobias, attachment and abandonment concerns, and issues linked to chronic illness and caregiving. Narcissism is listed among her areas of focus, and she brings that into work with relationship and communication problems.

Sessions move at a client's pace and start with a simple assessment to agree goals. People are supported to build confidence, reduce distress and find clearer ways to handle everyday pressures. If someone is unsure whether to begin, Deena invites them to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging a session.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and trying practical steps to change them, which is useful for panic, phobias and OCD. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, and can help with abandonment and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That means sessions can combine practical skills, values-based work and exploration of recurring relationship patterns so the plan fits the individual.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please check available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make accessing ongoing support simpler for people balancing caregiving, work or health limitations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions, and the focus remains helping people build manageable ways to cope and change.
