About Lavanniya
Lavanniya Langa is a counsellor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment and client-centred approaches. She draws on 14 years of experience in the United Kingdom to help people name and work through painful emotions. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can start to feel understood and heard.
She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, and helps those facing relationship and intimacy difficulties. Trauma, abuse and grief are also areas she has worked with over many years.
Background and approach
She often helps people cope with life changes, parenting strain, and work-related stress. Her style is conversational and practical. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her.
She tailors each plan to fit individual needs and goals rather than using the same approach for everyone. Lavanniya brings together Emotionally-Focused Therapy with attachment-aware and client-centred ideas. That means she pays attention to emotional experience, early relationship patterns and the person’s own priorities when planning work together.
She may also use cognitive behavioural techniques or Jungian ideas when they are helpful. Sessions are offered in English and Tamil and she works with people both within the UK and internationally. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and has a long track record supporting a broad range of concerns.

Online support
How emotion-focused and attachment work translates online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognise and name strong feelings and use those emotions to change unhelpful interaction patterns. It can be useful for relationship distress, grief and deep emotional wounds by helping people stay with feelings and understand their meaning.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns that shape how people connect and respond to others. It can help with trust, abandonment fears, codependency and problems repeating the same relational patterns.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work and values empathy, acceptance and collaboration. This approach supports people who need a steady, non-judgemental place to talk things through and set their own goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and agree on methods that fit. That collaboration can mix emotion-focused, attachment, client-centred or cognitive tools depending on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls approximate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins, while live chat or text-based messaging work well for people who prefer typing or want to reflect before replying. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caring duties or differing time zones and support people who live further away from a therapist.
