About Chanel Muharrem
Chanel Muharrem is a registered counsellor with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), a recognised professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom. She works from a client-centered perspective, placing each person at the heart of the counselling process so they can set the agenda and move at a pace that feels right for them. Chanel aims to empower people through counselling to improve their wellbeing and quality of life.
Her practice covers a range of concerns including anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, work-related stress, bereavement and loss, and life transitions such as aging, menopause and retirement. She has supported clients through grief, helped people rebuild confidence, and assisted those navigating difficult family and career changes. Chanel draws on her experience to help clients find practical ways to feel better and manage everyday challenges.
Before training as a counsellor, Chanel worked in the City with high-pressure professionals and later in academia supporting students, staff and colleagues. She has provided bereavement counselling for Mind and has worked with Mind’s Dove Private Service, the platform and in private practice. These roles have informed her understanding of the demands people face when they feel overwhelmed and how best to help them find a way forward.
Chanel listens without judgment and with empathy and kindness, offering a supportive space to explore thoughts and feelings. She recognises that making the first contact can be difficult and welcomes people seeking help at any stage, believing that no problem is too small to address.

Client-Centered Support and Online Sessions
Client-centered therapy is at the core of Chanel's practice. This approach focuses on the person's own experience, with the therapist offering empathy, active listening and acceptance while the client sets the pace and direction of sessions. It is helpful for people facing anxiety, low mood, self-esteem difficulties, relationship concerns and life transitions where personal reflection and empowerment are central.
Chanel also brings experience in bereavement counselling, working with people who are processing loss and grief. This practical, compassionate support aims to help individuals make sense of their emotions, find ways to cope, and gradually rebuild a sense of stability after significant change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chanel collaborates with each client to determine which methods and pace suit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting as those needs evolve. Online therapy offers practical benefits for those seeking flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counselling around work, family and other commitments. These options increase accessibility and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them.
