Chanel Muharrem

Chanel Muharrem is a registered counsellor with The British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists in the UK who adopts a client-centred approach, placing each person at the heart of the counselling process so they can set the agenda and move at a pace that feels right for them.

She is committed to helping people build greater wellbeing and improve quality of life, working collaboratively to find the best way forward for each individual. Chanel has experience supporting people with anxiety and low mood, low confidence and self-esteem, relationship difficulties, work-related stress, bereavement, loss and grief, and life transitions such as ageing, menopause, retirement and significant birthdays, alongside personal development goals.

Before training as a counsellor she worked in the City with professionals facing high-pressure roles and later in academia supporting students, academics and staff. These roles gave her insight into what people need when they feel overwhelmed and familiarity with the demands of corporate and academic environments.

Her counselling background includes work with Mind as a bereavement counsellor and with people experiencing anxiety and depression. Chanel currently practices with BetterHelp, Mind’s Dove Private Service, and in her own private practice to support clients through life’s challenges.

She understands that seeking counselling often happens at a difficult point when someone may feel anxious, low or uncertain whether talking will help. Chanel listens without judgment, offering empathy, kindness and care, and provides a safe, confidential space where no problem is too small.
