Dr. Theodora Adogu, BACP

Dr. Theodora Adogu is a UK-based counsellor with a BACP credential and six years of professional experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions and relationship strain. Her approach aims to make the first step feel less overwhelming and more manageable.

She creates a space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without fear of judgement. Sessions are intended to be open and non-judgemental, with the client setting the pace. Theodora emphasises straightforward conversation and steady support rather than jargon or complicated techniques.

Theodora combines several helpful approaches to suit different needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build willingness to act in ways that matter. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationship patterns and how past connections affect present feelings.

She also draws on client-centred and existential perspectives to keep sessions focused on what matters to each person. These approaches help when people face big life changes, grief, or questions about meaning. Theodora works with a broad range of concerns, including self-harm and sexual assault and abuse, and has additional focus on blended family issues and process addictions.

People who choose her often want clear, down-to-earth help for concrete problems. Theodora aims to support and empower individuals as they make changes and build coping skills for day-to-day life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps aligned with their values. It often uses simple exercises to notice thoughts and commit to small, meaningful actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce distress. It suits problems like anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and patterns, which can be useful for relationship strain and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. If an approach doesn't feel right, adjustments can be made so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling around work or family life, avoiding travel time and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to suit remote sessions and help people build coping skills that fit everyday life.
