Celestina Oniye-Thomas, BACP

Celestina Oniye-Thomas is a psychotherapist registered with the BACP who brings 20 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting and coparenting tensions, trauma and abuse, and helping people rebuild confidence. She aims to meet people respectfully and with sensitivity as they begin therapy.

Her work often centres on thoughts and everyday habits that shape how people react and cope. She uses a mix of approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Sessions are tailored to the person’s specific needs and circumstances.

Celestina commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, intimacy-related issues, and career worries. She also addresses more specific areas such as adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns, codependency, body image, and caregiver stress. This range means she often helps people navigate life changes and complicated family dynamics.

Her style is practical and conversational. People can expect to talk through current problems, learn simple tools to manage mood and behaviour, and experiment with new habits between meetings. She works at a pace set by the client and focuses on useful changes rather than labels.

To begin, people follow the site’s matching steps and schedule sessions according to availability. Celestina aims to make the process straightforward and to support each person as they work toward clearer thinking and steadier everyday habits.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values rather than being driven by fear. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood and managing difficult reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to use techniques and homework between meetings and to practice new habits in everyday settings while keeping therapy part of a normal routine.
