About Chibuike
Chibuike Ikechukwu is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem and depression. He speaks English, Igbo and Yoruba and draws on 11 years of clinical experience to guide practical steps forward. He keeps sessions straightforward and centred on what a client wants to change.
Conversations aim to identify patterns, build everyday coping skills and try small experiments between sessions. Sessions may include talking, mindful exercises and practical homework to test what works.
Background and approach
Chibuike trained in counselling and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Counselling from the University of East London and a Diploma in Counselling from Oxford (ODL). He also has academic degrees in theology which shape his comfort with deeper existential questions. In practice he blends several approaches rather than sticking to one method.
That mix allows him to tailor work around returning to steady routines, managing panic, addressing attachment wounds or thinking through difficult life changes. He is also experienced in supporting people who face immigration-related stress. Clients can expect clear, calm guidance and a focus on useful tools that fit daily life.
He aims to help people regain a sense of control and build confidence in handling relationship problems and other pressures. Chibuike’s background includes community-based counselling work, where he developed skills in active listening, problem-solving and practical communication strategies.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's perspective and creating an accepting space to talk through problems. It helps when someone needs a non-judgemental listener to reflect feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on feelings and attachment patterns to improve how people respond in relationships and manage strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss preferences, goals and what has helped before, then agree on a plan together. Sessions can adapt over time if one method isn’t helping as expected, so the process stays collaborative.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue when meeting in person isn’t possible, while phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick reflections, journalling between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel and let people choose what feels most comfortable for them.
