About Noya
Noya Hoffman is a counsellor who helps people dealing with depression, anxiety, stress and related difficulties. She works with individuals who are trying to manage life changes, workplace strain, relationship problems or questions about self-worth. She describes therapy as a practical space to set goals and take steps towards feeling better.
Noya offers a short-term, focused way of working that aims to identify a clear focus for sessions. She collaborates with clients to create simple formulations and to agree on realistic goals. Sessions mix techniques chosen to suit each person rather than following a single rigid method.
Her practice draws on a range of approaches, including psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. These are used to understand patterns that keep problems going and to learn different ways of responding to thoughts, feelings and situations.
Clients can expect encouragement, practical suggestions and support to build skills for day-to-day life. Noya emphasises a non-judgemental atmosphere where people can speak openly and feel heard. She views therapy as a partnership rather than a one-way process.
Noya is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps in that direction. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, which can help with anxiety, low mood and workplace stress.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for panic, low mood, or stress at work.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss options with clients and tailor techniques to a person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative decision that can change as therapy progresses.
For practicalities, confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue therapy across different locations within the same country, while the therapist and client agree on what works best for scheduling and communication.
