Background and approach
He uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurt is still causing distress. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and Mindfulness to build calm and focus in daily life. His background includes work across military and civilian settings.
That experience informs how he supports people who bring complex stress, mood problems, addictions or issues tied to service life. He pays attention to cultural background and to how guilt, shame or feelings of isolation can shape experience. In sessions he aims to create a steady, collaborative space.
Conversations are practical and paced to each person’s readiness. Sessions can include skills practice, reflecting on patterns, and planning small steps to improve wellbeing. Chijioke is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

How Chijioke uses proven approaches online
Chijioke commonly combines Trauma-Focused Therapy with Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches. Trauma-Focused Therapy aims to work through the impact of past harm so it affects day-to-day life less; it is useful for people who continue to be troubled by earlier events. Client-Centred work focuses on listening and building a trusting, respectful space where the person sets the pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide what methods feel most helpful given their goals, comfort and stage of recovery. That shared decision-making helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel or busy home lives while still accessing experienced therapists and registered or accredited professionals.
