Gifty Ogene , NCPS

Gifty Ogene is a registered counsellor and psychotherapist who supports individuals and couples in addressing a wide range of emotional and relational concerns. She holds the NCPS credential, which indicates registration to practise as a counsellor and psychotherapist, and brings private sector experience to her practice. Her approach is grounded in respect for each person's culture and beliefs and she consistently maintains a non-judgemental stance and clear professional boundaries.

With 12 years of experience, Gifty has worked extensively with bereaved relatives, carers, and friends of people who have died in hospice care, helping clients navigate grief through stages such as shock, disorganization, reorganization, and eventual recovery. She also has significant experience supporting couples with conflict, communication breakdowns, infidelity, unforgiveness, and financial stresses. Over the years she has helped clients living with anxiety, depression, and other relationship difficulties.

Her clinical practice draws on a client-centred or person-centred model that prioritises a strong therapeutic relationship and the core conditions that allow personal growth. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences influence present patterns, and cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and challenge thoughts and behaviours that limit progress. Gifty aims to create a practical, collaborative space where clients can explore difficulties, develop insight, and find coping strategies that fit their lives.
