About Chanel
Chanel Muharrem is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She uses a Client-Centred approach so the person in front of her sets the pace and the topics for sessions. Chanel works with concerns such as anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, grief, stress, and issues around self-esteem and identity.
She often supports people facing life transitions such as retirement, menopause, significant birthdays, and career changes. Chanel has experience with work-related pressure, having previously worked in the City and in academia where she supported students, staff and colleagues. That background informs how she helps people manage high-demand work lives alongside personal struggles.
Chanel has worked with organisations including Mind as a bereavement counsellor and supporting people with anxiety and depression. She also works in private practice. Her sessions focus on listening and responding to what each person brings, rather than imposing a set agenda.
In practice she helps people talk through relationship strains, attachment and abandonment worries, family-of-origin difficulties, and issues such as codependency or infidelity. She also supports those coping with loss, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Her Client-Centred way means she aims to follow the client's lead and help them explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. People often come to discuss guilt and shame, forgiveness, communication problems, or trouble with commitment and intimacy. Chanel asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Client-Centred counselling and online working
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a set plan. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is heard, and follows the client's lead. This approach helps when people need to talk through shame, guilt, relationship problems, or decisions about work and life changes.Chanel's practice emphasises listening and letting clients set the agenda. That makes it easier to explore difficult feelings about family of origin, abandonment, or grief at a pace that feels manageable. The therapist will work collaboratively to find the best approach based on a client's needs, goals and preferences rather than assuming one method fits everyone.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options available before booking. Some registered or accredited professionals offer video or phone sessions which can make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, or avoid being on camera. Chanel asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session so practical arrangements and session format can be agreed together.
