About Chanel
Chanel Muharrem is a counsellor who uses a Client-Centred approach to place the person at the heart of therapy. She encourages people to set the pace and shape the sessions around what matters most to them. Chanel aims to help people build confidence and find practical ways to feel better in daily life.
She focuses on worries such as anxiety, low mood and stress, and on relationship and intimacy-related concerns. Career and work-related strain are also areas she addresses, alongside grief, loss and life transitions like retirement or significant birthdays. Chanel lists addictions, trauma and compassion fatigue among her work areas too.
Her background includes work in the City supporting professionals under pressure and roles in academia where she supported students, academics and staff. These roles informed how she recognises workplace and study-related strain and how it can affect wellbeing. Chanel has four years' counselling experience and holds BACP membership, which is noted as her professional credential.
She has worked with Mind as a bereavement counsellor and supported people with anxiety and depression, and she mentions work with Mind’s Dove Private Service and a private practice. That range of settings has shaped her practical, empathetic style and her focus on helping people find a way forward.
Chanel describes counselling as a listening space without judgement. She aims to offer kindness and empathy, and to help people explore thoughts and feelings so they can make changes that suit their life and goals.
How Client-Centred Work Fits with Online Therapy
Client-Centred Therapy centres the person's experience and priorities. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, follows what the client brings, and helps them find their own solutions. This approach is often used for issues like anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns because it focuses on the client's view of their difficulty.Chanel’s experience supporting people through bereavement, workplace stress and life transitions complements a Client-Centred way of working. She aims to shape sessions around each person's goals and preferences, so deciding how to work together becomes a shared task. The therapist will check in about what is helpful and adapt the approach as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Different formats suit different needs - some people prefer shorter check-ins by phone for brief updates, while others like a longer face-to-face style session by video for deeper conversation. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or caring responsibilities and reduce travel time, helping therapy to slot into a busy week.
