About Ijeabalum
Ijeabalum Asike offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She uses clear, respectful language and focuses on what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to help people feel heard and to build coping skills that fit everyday life.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at patterns in how people experience and express emotions in relationships. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions rooted in the person's perspective, and Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple ways to manage difficult feelings in the moment.
Background and approach
Over six years of practice in the United Kingdom have shaped a gentle, strengths-based way of working. She tailors conversations and plans to each person rather than applying a fixed recipe. Expect short, practical steps as well as space to talk about painful events and losses.
Topics she regularly helps with include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting pressures, intimacy-related concerns and workplace stress. She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness and caregiver strain. Sessions are offered in English and Igbo, and Ijeabalum welcomes people from different countries.
The focus is on helping people notice unhelpful patterns, build new responses and find steadier ways to cope day to day.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and how these affect relationships and reactions. It can be useful for anyone who wants to change painful emotional patterns and feel more connected to themselves and others.Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the person's pace, helping them find their own solutions and make sense of difficult moments.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple exercises to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These practices can help with anxiety, stress and coping during illness or caregiving challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then tailor methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where plans evolve as the person feels more able to try different ways of coping.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people keep therapy going despite travel, work or caring commitments.
