About Noya
Noya Hoffman is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress and low mood. She works with individuals who are struggling with issues such as panic attacks, depression, relationship strain and changes at work. Her style is practical and focused on finding what will help in day-to-day life.
In sessions she collaborates with each person to create clear goals and a simple plan. She blends techniques from different approaches to match a person's needs rather than using a single method. That might mean looking at patterns from the past alongside tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Her approach emphasises a kind, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. She aims to build a working rapport quickly so sessions can focus on coping strategies and problem solving. Noya describes therapy as a form of self-care where the counsellor is a companion on the journey.
With ten years' experience she draws on both short-term focused work and deeper exploration when needed. She uses evidence-based techniques while supporting people to feel empowered and capable of change. This makes the work practical and grounded in everyday concerns.
Based in the United Kingdom and holding BACP status, she works with adults from diverse backgrounds. If panic attacks, anxiety or life changes are affecting daily life, she helps people find clearer steps forward.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help when worry or avoidance is getting in the way of living a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognising unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and panic symptoms. It is often practical and skills-based, useful for day-to-day coping.Noya treats finding the right approach as a shared process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few small techniques early on and adjusting the plan as progress is seen.
If you are considering online work, please confirm the session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing a check-in during a lunch break. It can also allow shorter practical sessions when that suits a client, or quieter conversations without the need to arrange a long commute. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so therapy remains focused and useful.
