Aruna Ramkalowon, BACP

Aruna Ramkalowon offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, loss and life transitions. She welcomes clients who are unsure where to begin and prefers clear, respectful conversations that focus on what matters to each person. Aruna uses simple, direct language and aims to make the first steps easier to take.

She has six years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Aruna describes herself as an integrative counsellor and adapts sessions to each person’s needs rather than following a single formula. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and finding small, manageable ways to change it.

Her work commonly addresses relationships, self-esteem, depression, grief and life changes. Aruna also supports people with work-related strain, compassion fatigue, addictions and ADHD concerns. She lists additional focus on ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, end-of-life counselling and multicultural concerns.

Therapy draws on a mix of client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. In practice this means talking through difficult moments, spotting patterns that keep problems going, and trying out new ways of coping between sessions. Aruna aims to create a steady, patient space for those steps.

To start, a simple online questionnaire is completed and a session is scheduled according to availability. Aruna invites people who want a thoughtful, flexible approach to consider working with her.

How Aruna uses different approaches online

Aruna commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques when working with people online. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor follows the client’s lead, listens closely and reflects what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to make sense of feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and trying small practical changes. It is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and for building new coping habits that can be practised between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and it is done together. The therapist discusses your needs, goals and preferences and then recommends which methods to try. That plan can be adjusted as you go along so the work stays relevant to your daily life.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often combine talking, brief exercises and written reflections to make remote therapy practical and effective.
