About Deena Ramkhelawon
Deena Ramkhelawon (BACP) is a fully trained counsellor and psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with 17 years of experience supporting people through both everyday pressures and more entrenched difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress, panic attacks, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, family concerns, and life transitions. Her work is grounded in integrative therapy, drawing on psychodynamic and person-centered foundations, alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), CBT skills, and solution-focused work to meet each client where they are.
She offers a warm, empathic, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore thoughts, feelings, and emotions, with a focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship that helps bring clarity, confidence, and meaningful movement over time. Deena recognizes that each person’s experience is unique, and she aims to understand a client’s perspective carefully so therapy feels supportive, respectful, and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Alongside a broad general practice, Deena has a particular passion for working with OCD and a comprehensive understanding of OCD and its subtypes. She incorporates psychoeducation and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), widely recognized as the gold standard approach for OCD, and collaborates with clients to develop an individual treatment plan at a pace that feels manageable. Her experience also extends to related concerns such as health anxiety, phobias, and eating disorders, as well as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress and compassion fatigue, communication difficulties, separation and divorce, multicultural concerns, and work-related stress.

Evidence-informed approaches, delivered online with flexibility
Deena Ramkhelawon draws from several established therapy models to support concerns like anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship strain, and OCD-related difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice tough thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while building day-to-day actions around personal values - an approach that can be especially helpful when worry, avoidance, or self-criticism take over.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills focus on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. This practical style of work can help clients identify unhelpful patterns, test new coping strategies, and develop tools for challenges such as panic, phobias, and ongoing stress. Deena also integrates attachment-based ideas, which explore how early and current relationships shape trust, boundaries, and emotional needs, supporting people who are navigating family issues, abandonment concerns, or recurring relationship dynamics.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Deena works collaboratively with clients to shape therapy around individual goals, pace, and preferences, adjusting methods as needs become clearer over time.
Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a way that fits real life. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, parenting demands, or times when meeting in person feels difficult.
