About Aruna
Aruna Ramkalowon is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Sessions are also offered for concerns such as addictions, career pressures, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Aruna speaks English and works from the United Kingdom.
She uses an integrative approach, drawing on several counselling methods to suit the person in front of her. That means she might use client-centred ways of listening, cognitive behavioural techniques for unhelpful thinking, or mindfulness practices to reduce tension. She also brings psychodynamic and Jungian ideas into conversations where exploring patterns or deeper meanings feels useful.
In practice Aruna focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She listens to what matters most, and they agree together on what to try next. Sessions may include exercises, noticing patterns between meetings, or learning short skills to manage difficult moments.
Her background as a BACP counsellor informs how she works with multicultural concerns, attachment questions, and issues that arise during ageing or caregiving. She also offers support around hospice and end-of-life topics and hoarding when these come up.
Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online counselling options button.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Aruna commonly draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in her practice. Client-centred work focuses on careful listening and helping the person lead the conversation, which can help with issues like low self-esteem and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thinking patterns and practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which is often used for anxiety, stress and depression.Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss what feels most relevant, agree goals, and adjust methods as the work proceeds. Decisions about techniques come from the client’s needs, preferences and the way sessions progress together.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online counselling can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows work to continue for people who are balancing caregiving, work or study commitments. Registered or accredited professionals like her can help tailor sessions so they fit practical circumstances and personal goals.
