Ebikefe Eldridge, BACP

Ebikefe Eldridge offers one-to-one counselling tailored to people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She welcomes LGBT clients and aims to create a calm space where people can talk about difficult feelings. Her approach is practical and person-focused, helping people find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Ebikefe draws on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that keep causing pain. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, using psychoeducation and practical steps to manage anxiety and mood. Mindfulness skills feature in sessions to help with somatic reactions and to bring attention into the present.

She also uses solution-focused techniques when people want shorter-term work with clear goals and checkpoints. That makes it easier to map progress over a 12-week or a longer 24-week plan. Sessions aim to balance exploring underlying issues and building day-to-day coping strategies.

Ebikefe has six years of experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers online one-to-one counselling designed to empower clients and support emotional growth.

If you are worried about discrimination, identity, trauma, parenting pressures or caregiver stress, she aims to listen without judgement and help you plan practical next steps. To begin, follow the site process to match with her and arrange sessions according to her availability.

How her approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space. The therapist follows the client’s lead and reflects what is said to help people feel understood and make their own changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) includes learning about thoughts and behaviours and trying small experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood. It can help with practical problems like sleep, panic or unhelpful thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ebikefe will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods as therapy progresses. She aims to be collaborative, setting goals together and checking in on what helps and what does not.

Please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between commitments. Some people prefer to use audio only when camera use is difficult, while others like a regular video check-in for connection. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor the pace and structure so sessions match everyday schedules and treatment goals.
