About Noya
Noya Hoffman is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with 10 years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with depression, anxiety and stress, and also addresses concerns such as relationship strain, career difficulties and struggles with guilt and shame.
Noya uses a short-term focused approach while collaborating with clients to create a clear formulation and set practical goals. She discusses what matters to the client and helps find a focus for each session. Her work combines different techniques chosen to fit the situation rather than a single fixed method.
She draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat across life and on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. Solution-focused tools are used to identify small, achievable steps that move a person forward between sessions.
Noya describes therapy as a form of self-care and aims to work alongside clients rather than act as a blank canvas. Sessions are practical and conversational, with attention to what the client wants to change and how to measure progress.
Clients from diverse backgrounds are welcome to discuss issues around mood disorders, ADHD-related struggles, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger and young adult transitions. She encourages people to bring examples from daily life so that techniques feel relevant and usable outside the room.
Approaches used in online sessions
Therapy with Noya often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. ACT looks at what matters to a person and helps them take small steps toward those values while accepting uncomfortable feelings. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviours to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the client's concerns, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, such as joining from a quieter room, having a shorter check-in between commitments, or avoiding travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT and CBT techniques to online sessions so practical tools are still central to the work.
