Ijeabalum Asike, BACP

Ijeabalum Asike helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or grief. She is named up front so you know who you will work with. Her approach is calm and respectful and she tailors conversations to each person’s needs.

She has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her background includes a degree in Psychology and two master’s degrees: an MSc in Applied Psychology and an MSc in Counselling and Positive Psychology. She uses that training to offer practical support for day-to-day struggles.

Sessions typically cover coping with life changes, relationship and family tensions, parenting strain, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also works with people facing trauma, abuse, addiction, chronic illness or caregiving stress. Specific focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger Syndrome.

Ijeabalum describes her practice as grounded in client-centred work, emotionally-focused methods and mindfulness. That means conversations focus on the person in front of her, on deepening emotional understanding, and on simple present-moment skills to manage distress.

Her manner is aimed at supporting and empowering clients as they take steps toward change. She will help you map out goals and try small, manageable steps between sessions. If you want to explore whether she is the right fit, follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say and helps them find their own solutions. This suits people who need a non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and decisions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy aims to identify and name core emotions and the patterns they create. It helps people shift the way they respond when strong feelings arise, which can be useful for relationship tension and attachment worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with clients and choose methods together based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape what happens from session to session.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact formats offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoid the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these methods for remote conversations and practical skills practice.
