Background and approach
That mix of academic study and hands-on practice shapes how she meets people in sessions. Her approach treats therapy as a shared journey. She encourages clients to talk about current problems, past experiences and the meanings they attach to each.
Sessions focus on building trust, noticing patterns and trying small changes that fit everyday life. Existential ideas are part of her work - helping people face life’s big questions and find personal meaning. Attachment-based and client-centred ways of working also shape her sessions, so relationships and emotional safety are a focus.
People who choose Dr Ramnath can expect straightforward conversation, gentle curiosity and practical steps to try between sessions. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. International clients may also connect in English.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Existential Therapy encourages people to look at the big questions in life - meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps when someone feels lost, stuck or unsure about who they are and what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape how people connect now and can help with relationship difficulties, trust and feelings of safety. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and responding to the person in front of you so they can find their own solutions and grow at their pace.Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will talk about what seems most useful, try methods in session and adjust based on goals and what feels comfortable for the client. This makes therapy a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a calmer, voice-only check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, note-taking, or people who find typing easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility for work breaks, different time zones and changing routines, while keeping the focus on useful therapeutic work with registered or accredited professionals.
