About Dr. Kalawatie Ramnath
Dr. Kalawatie Ramnath brings a worldly perspective to counselling after extensive international travel and time spent as an expat in East and West Africa and South America. Those experiences have informed both her life and her professional approach, contributing to a broad cultural awareness she brings into sessions. She studied to PhD level in the 1990s and has recently completed an L4 qualification in Integrative Counselling, and she also holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional accreditation in the UK.
Dr. Ramnath has completed over 200 hours of clinical work with a wide range of clients, and she describes her style as relaxed and relational. She emphasizes the core counselling conditions of empathy and unconditional regard, offering steady support regardless of a client’s presenting concerns. Positive feedback from clients highlights the real difference a trusting therapeutic relationship can make, and she views that relationship as a central vehicle for change.
Using a gentle, exploratory approach, Dr. Ramnath likens life to a safari - a journey inward where examining past experiences, beliefs, and patterns can reveal why people behave as they do. She aims to create a space where clients can explore those inner landscapes at their own pace and work toward clearer understanding and practical coping.

Therapeutic approaches and remote support
Dr. Ramnath commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space so clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, anxiety, and depression because it prioritizes the client’s own experience and pace of change.
She also draws on attachment-based therapy to explore patterns in relationships and early bonds that shape current responses to stress, intimacy, and abandonment. This approach can be useful for relationship difficulties, trauma and attachment concerns, and family dynamics.
The choice of approach is collaborative - Dr. Ramnath works with each client to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the work as understanding grows. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and unfolds through open discussion between client and therapist.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions by video or phone make it possible to connect from different locations, while live chat and text-based messaging provide alternative formats for communication when schedules or comfort levels require it. For clients who travel or live abroad, these options support continuity of care and make it easier to maintain regular appointments with registered professionals and therapists.
