About Joyce

Joyce Akpogheneta is a counsellor and a British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) member with 11 years of practice. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and related struggles like anger and low self-esteem. She works from the view that people know their own stories and already hold strengths that can help them heal.

Sessions aim to identify those strengths and use them to manage distress and build more calm in daily life.

Background and approach

Joyce offers practical support for grief, parenting strain and relationship tension. Her approach blends talking and reflection with goal-focused work. She draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how early bonds shape present reactions.

Solution-focused techniques help set clear, manageable steps to improve day-to-day functioning. Motivational interviewing is used when people feel stuck or unsure about change, helping to find personal reasons to move forward. Psychodynamic ideas are used to gently uncover patterns that repeat across relationships and situations.

Joyce meets people in ways that fit their life, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. She accepts international clients and offers help in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book at a time that suits them.

How Joyce’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions use this perspective to notice patterns of connection and separation, helping people understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions and how to build steadier responses.

Client-centred therapy puts the person's own experience at the centre. In this way of working the counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what matters most to the client, helping them find their own answers to stress, anxiety and life changes.

Motivational interviewing supports people who feel stuck about change. It uses careful questioning and reflection to clarify personal goals and strengthen the reasons someone wants to move forward, which can help with issues like substance use, coping habits and motivation to try new strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adapted as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations where non-verbal cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to arrange therapy around work, family or travel commitments.
