Gifty Ogene

Gifty Ogene is a registered counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 12 years of experience supporting individuals and couples with their emotional wellbeing.

She has private sector experience and works with each client as an individual, respecting their culture and beliefs while maintaining a non-judgemental stance.

Gifty has ten years' experience offering support to bereaved relatives, carers and friends of people who have died in hospice care, helping those who find it difficult to cope with grief. She works with issues relating to loss, shock, disorganization, reorganization and recovery.

She also has five years' experience working with couples to address conflicts, communication difficulties, infidelity, unforgiveness and money issues.

Over the years she has supported clients with anxiety, depression and relationship concerns.

Her practice uses three complementary approaches: a practical Person-Centred model to facilitate a trusting therapeutic relationship and an environment that supports growth; psychodynamic work to increase awareness of past behaviours and attitudes that influence present relationships; and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to strengthen the working alliance and challenge thinking patterns that are holding clients back.

Gifty builds and maintains professional therapeutic boundaries, promotes a non-judgemental attitude and regards confidentiality as an important part of her work.
