About Benedicta
Benedicta Sanio Ala-Oborie is a BACP-accredited counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She offers help for common and complex concerns such as grief, anxiety, depression, stress and anger. Benedicta also supports people dealing with relationship strain, self-esteem worries, trauma and parenting challenges.
Her background is in psychodynamic and person-centred ways of working. She uses those frameworks to listen for patterns in how people relate to themselves and others. Benedicta also brings in breath work, mindfulness and somatic ideas when they suit a person’s needs.
Sessions are conversational and focus on understanding what brings someone to therapy now. Benedicta works with a person's existing diagnosis if there is one, helping them make sense of symptoms and experiences rather than assigning labels. The practical aim is clearer thinking about feelings and choices.
She pays attention to attachment, abandonment and communication problems, alongside specific concerns such as body image, compulsive eating behaviours and issues around intimacy, kink and BDSM culture. Benedicta also supports people facing chronic illness, fatherhood issues, and separation or divorce.
Her style balances reflection and gentle challenge. She helps people notice patterns, test new ways of responding, and practise skills such as breath-based regulation. Sessions often blend talking with short mindfulness or body-focused exercises to manage strong emotions like anger.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
The client-centred approach focuses on listening and reflecting, helping people feel heard and clarify their concerns; it suits worries such as low self-esteem, relationship strain and decision-making. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) works with feelings in the moment and the patterns they create between people, which can be useful for anger, attachment problems and intimacy issues. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility when life changes feel overwhelming and can help with grief, emptiness and big life decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Benedicta will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That may mean combining listening-focused work with breath-based regulation or short somatic practices during sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around everyday life, keep shorter check-ins during a busy day, and use exercises such as breath work or mindfulness that transfer well to a remote setting. Registered and accredited professionals often adapt tools so that talking, noticing bodily responses, and practising new ways of responding work effectively across different setups.
