Aruna Ramkalowon, BACP

Aruna Ramkalowon welcomes people looking for practical, compassionate support. She uses clear, simple language and a calm approach. Aruna aims to make the first step into counselling easier for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

Aruna holds BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has six years of professional experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with grief, low self-esteem, motivation problems and depression.

Her practice draws on several ways of working so sessions are shaped around each person. Aruna listens first and then suggests techniques that fit what a client needs. That might include talking through difficult feelings, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, or practising mindful ways to cope with pressure.

Aruna also focuses on relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and workplace stresses. She offers help with addiction-related struggles, communication problems, and caregiver strain. Additional areas include ageing and geriatric questions, hoarding, multicultural issues and young adult challenges.

Every plan is tailored to the individual rather than following a fixed programme. Aruna aims to be respectful and sensitive, adjusting the pace to what the person can manage. She encourages people to set realistic goals and reviews progress together as therapy continues.

How Aruna’s approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy is about creating a respectful space where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects and responds in a non-judgemental way. It helps when someone needs to be heard and understood as they make sense of difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress by teaching simple tools to manage symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Aruna will work collaboratively to choose which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and she adapts the mix over time based on what helps most.

Please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes regular work on coping skills more manageable between appointments.
