Dr. Ibrahim Ndabavunye, HCPC

Dr. Ibrahim Ndabavunye welcomes people seeking practical support for stress, anxiety, trauma, low mood and life changes. He is a clinical psychologist with HCPC registration and about 17 years of experience in mental health services in the United Kingdom. He speaks English and French and can work with international clients.

He helps people tackle problems such as relationship strain, grief, anger, sleep or eating difficulties, low self‑esteem, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue. ADHD and multicultural concerns are also part of his focus. He aims to make sessions straightforward and goal oriented so people leave with clearer steps to try between meetings.

Dr Ndabavunye uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. He may draw on cognitive behavioural ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. He also uses client‑centred and attachment‑informed ways of working to strengthen emotional understanding and connection.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) are included when useful. These methods can help with difficult emotions, distress tolerance and building values‑based action. He adapts his style to what a person needs rather than following a single method.

Sessions begin by clarifying priorities and making a simple plan together. He aims to offer a calm, non‑judgemental space where people can speak openly and try new strategies. To start, readers are asked to use the site process to match and schedule a session.

How his approaches translate to online work

Dr Ndabavunye commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment‑Based and client‑centred approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still take steps towards a life they value. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with major changes.

Attachment‑Based work focuses on patterns of relating and emotional connection, helping people understand how past relationships shape current reactions. Client‑centred therapy places the persons experience at the centre and uses empathic listening to build understanding and self‑direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. He will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful, combining techniques as needed so sessions match a persons goals, preferences and pace.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family time, to meet from another area of the country, and to try shorter check‑ins when days are busy. Registered or accredited professionals adapt exercises, mindfulness practices and behavioural tasks so they work in an online setting and fit everyday life.
