Chanel Muharrem is a counsellor who works from a Client-Centred approach that keeps the person at the heart of therapy. She places the client’s priorities first and helps people set the pace and direction of their sessions. Chanel aims to help people feel more able to manage stress, relationships and difficult life changes.

She supports people facing anxiety, low mood and low self-esteem, and those dealing with grief or major life transitions such as retirement or menopause. Relationship concerns, work-related pressure and issues around intimacy and addiction are also areas she addresses. Isolation and loneliness are included among the concerns she works with.

Chanel has four years of counselling experience and is a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists, BACP. Her background includes work in the City supporting professionals under pressure and later roles in academia helping students, academics and staff. These roles shaped her understanding of high-pressure environments and the practical needs of people who feel overwhelmed.

Her counselling work has included roles supporting people with bereavement, anxiety and depression. She describes her style as warm and non-judgemental, listening with empathy so people can make sense of what is troubling them. Chanel encourages clients to find their own solutions and a clearer way forward.

To begin, Chanel asks people to set the agenda and to take therapy at a pace that feels right. She emphasises that no problem is too small to bring to a session, and that counselling can offer hope and practical steps to improve wellbeing and daily life.

Client-Centred counselling and online support

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience first. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead so they can set goals and move at a comfortable pace. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and feelings of emptiness.

Chanel focuses on helping people make sense of life changes and losses by being present and responsive to what the individual needs. She aims to create a collaborative relationship where the client and counsellor decide together which methods and priorities suit the client’s goals.

Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting counselling into busy schedules, enabling shorter travel time and easier planning around work or caregiving commitments. If you are considering online counselling, confirm the session formats available before booking so you know what to expect. The therapist will work with you to find an approach that fits your daily life and preferences.
