Onon Perenlei, BACP

Onon Perenlei is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people work through stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She holds BACP accreditation and draws on three years' experience supporting adults as they face life transitions and struggles with confidence and identity.

She creates a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk openly about what is happening in their lives. Sessions focus on the person in front of her, their immediate concerns, and practical ways to cope day to day. She listens for patterns around attachment, abandonment and control that can fuel difficult feelings.

Her work often addresses the emotional impact of major life changes, bereavement, and challenges linked to health or caregiving roles. She also supports people dealing with body image, relationship communication problems, codependency and feelings of emptiness. Assessment of strengths and supports is used to shape each plan.

Onon integrates mindfulness exercises and reflective conversation to help people notice unhelpful habits and make different choices. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns and on trauma-focused approaches where past events continue to affect daily life.

Sessions are offered in English and Mongolian for people based in the United Kingdom. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens carefully and reflects back what she hears, helping people find their own answers and build confidence in making changes. This approach suits worries about identity, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce reactivity and increase awareness of thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with ongoing difficult emotions by teaching short, practical exercises to use day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the counsellor works collaboratively to decide what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable before shaping a plan, and may blend methods as needs change over time.

Please confirm the current session formats before booking, as that information is not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If quieter surroundings, a shorter session or not using video would help, mention this when you schedule so options can be discussed.
