About Chanel

Chanel Muharrem is a counsellor who works from a Client-Centred approach. She puts the person at the centre of sessions and lets them set the pace and agenda. Chanel aims to help people feel more able and improve their wellbeing through collaborative conversation and practical support.

She commonly works with anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem. Relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues and stress at work also feature in her practice. Chanel also supports people dealing with bereavement, life changes and career challenges, and she addresses issues such as guilt, shame and isolation.

Her background includes work in the City with professionals under high pressure, and later roles in academia supporting students and staff. Those experiences shaped how she responds when people feel overwhelmed and helped her learn practical ways to find a way forward.

Chanel has four years' counselling experience and is registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP. She has provided bereavement counselling and support for anxiety and depression through work with Mind.

In sessions she listens without judgment and offers empathy and kindness. She helps people talk through difficult feelings, sort out relationship and communication problems, and explore attachment and abandonment worries. If someone is unsure whether counselling will help, Chanel will work alongside them to discover small steps forward.

Client-Centred support and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the therapist. It involves attentive listening, reflecting back what someone says, and following their lead. This approach helps people who are coping with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and big life changes to feel heard and make choices that suit them.

The aim of sessions is to work together to find the best way forward. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try different ways of working, and review what helps most. Decisions about pace, focus and techniques are made collaboratively so the approach can change as needs evolve.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy life and reducing travel time. It can make scheduling around work or caregiving simpler and can allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking so people know what to expect and can choose what fits their routine best.
