About Ijeabalum

Ijeabalum Asike offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, loss, anxiety or past trauma. She speaks English and Igbo and draws on six years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom to help clients find clearer ways forward. She aims for conversations that are straightforward and respectful.

Sessions focus on what matters most to the client - reducing stress, coping with grief, managing mood, or working through the impact of abuse and trauma.

Background and approach

She works with issues around family dynamics, parenting stress, addiction, intimacy, self-esteem and career concerns. Ijeabalum uses talking therapy rooted in the person’s experience. She listens closely to how people describe their difficulties and then adapts the pace and techniques to suit them.

That can mean working on emotional responses, noticing unhelpful patterns, or building mindful habits to ease tension. Her training includes a degree in Psychology and two masters degrees - an MSc in Applied Psychology and an MSc in Counselling and Positive Psychology. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

People who meet her usually start by naming a few small goals. From there they try different ways of working until something fits. The aim is practical change: clearer thinking, calmer feelings and better day-to-day coping skills.

Sessions are structured but flexible, and she encourages honest feedback so the work stays relevant to each person’s life.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their perspective at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions, which can be useful for stress, self-esteem and relationship worries.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on feelings and attachment patterns. It helps people understand emotional responses and the ways those responses show up in important relationships or during periods of loss and change.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice stress and calm the body and mind. Short exercises can reduce reactivity and make daily coping easier for anxiety, grief and trauma-related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the client's needs, goals and preferences in a collaborative way. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online formats make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful when face-to-face conversation helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, shorter reflections or people who prefer writing. These options help therapy fit around work, family and travel commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
