Onon Perenlei, BACP

Onon Perenlei is a counsellor who uses client-centred, existential and mindfulness approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She holds BACP registration and offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through hard moments. Sessions are aimed at helping people build confidence, cope with life changes and make sense of identity and meaning.

With three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom, she has worked with young adults and people dealing with bereavement. Her practice pays attention to emotional patterns and how past relationships can influence present feelings. This helps when people are struggling with attachment, abandonment, codependency or communication problems.

Onon uses mindfulness techniques to help reduce overwhelming emotions and to bring attention back to the present moment. She also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas to look at deeper patterns and questions about purpose and identity. Therapy sessions combine talking, reflection and practical steps tailored to each person.

She supports people managing health-related challenges such as cancer and caregiver stress by focusing on coping strategies and emotional adjustment. She also addresses body image, dependent personality concerns, and the practical strain that follows divorce or separation.

Sessions are offered in English and Mongolian. Prospective clients are asked to follow the Start Therapy process on the site to complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor and aims to make conversations feel understood and accepted. It is useful for people who need a space to talk through stress, low mood or questions about identity. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce intense feelings and help with anxiety or recurring worry. These practices often involve short exercises and guided attention within a session.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will check goals, preferences and how a person responds in early sessions, and then suggest which methods to use. This is a collaborative process so adjustments can be made as the relationship develops.

Practical online benefits depend on the session formats available for this counsellor. The site process asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability, so it is important to confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around daily life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue support while managing health challenges or caregiver responsibilities.
