I'm a registered counsellor and psychotherapist - I support individuals and couples with their emotional wellbeing. I have private sector experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist. I work with each client uniquely, appreciating their cultures and beliefs and I have remained non- judgemental.
I have ten years’ experience offer support to bereaved relatives, carers or friends of those who have died in the care of the hospice who are finding it difficult to cope with their grief. . I work with clients addressing issues relating to the loss, shock, disorganization, reorganization and recovery.
I have five experience working work couples dealing with conflicts, communication issues, infidelity, unforgiveness and money issues.
Over the years I have supported with their anxiety, depression , relationship issues.
I have three approaches I use in working with clients, my practical approach is centred in Person Centre model which I feel facilitate good therapeutic relationship with the core conditions, I create an environment that allows growth. I use Psychodynamic to create an awareness of past behaviour and attitudes that are playing out in present relationship. It help gives an understanding on how this learnt past behaviour is interfering with present relationships in the area of communicating their needs and get their needs met and CBT to encourage working alliance and to challenge thinking that is holding them back. I have always been able to build a professional relationship, maintaining boundaries and promoting a non-judgemental attitude. Also confidentiality is an important part of my work.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Gifty Ogene. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Gifty is truly insightful and takes the time to really understand you. She has a way of asking the right questions to gathering information and deciphering it to get to the big picture. Anyone who is stuck or needs to understand the ‘why’ they are feeling a certain way or going about it some type of way, she is your helpful guide. I would highly recommend her!

I am truly grateful for the support I received from Gifty. She is kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about her clients. From the beginning, she really listened to me and understood my needs, especially when it came to my personal values.
What I appreciated most was her ability to bring comfort even in difficult moments. Even when I was crying, she had a gentle sense of humor that could make me smile and feel a little lighter. She made me feel understood and supported throughout the process.
She also ensured consistent follow-up and showed great commitment to my well-being. Even outside of our scheduled sessions, she remained communicative and flexible, which made me feel truly supported.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, attentive, and dedicated therapist.

Gifty helped me to see my situations from a different perspective which definitely helped me overcome it. I feel very understood and well guided. We did go trough my life timeline and rewrote some moments form the past so I don’t take it too personally. It definitely helped ! I am always looking forward to our weekly sessions :)

I can’t thank Gifty enough for all the support and guidance she’s given me. I’ve grown so much through our time together and have been able to break through challenges I never thought I could. Her kindness, patience, and encouragement have meant the world, and I’m truly excited to start this new chapter with everything I’ve learned. Thank you Gifty

I've attempted Therapy a couple times and also changed Therapists a few times before 'finding' Gifty and I am so happy I didn't 'settle'. From her first message to me, I felt comfortable and like she genuinely cared about helping me get to the root of my challenges. I've had 3 sessions and frankly, if my financial situation were better, I'd have sessions more than once a week. She's very thoughtful, sensitive, thorough and knowledgeable. It may sound strange but I absolutely look forward to our sessions. At every session, I learn things about myself I never expected to. She's amazing!

I have been off the app for a while. Been waiting for the day to speak to her again and it's coming soon. I'm so grateful for her. I can't go anywhere else because it doesn't feel right and we just don't click like I do with Gifty. This is the person that will hopefully help me to make the next steps of my life that I need to make. And knowing im speaking to another Christian is better than anything I could have imagined.

I’ve had two sessions with my therapist so far, but I can already feel a positive shift. She’s made me feel heard and comfortable right from the start. Even in such a short time, I’ve gained valuable insights into myself, and she’s been really great at helping me understand my thoughts and feelings more clearly. I’m looking forward to continuing this journey and seeing how much further I can grow with her support. So far, it’s been a really helpful and eye-opening experience.
