About Benedicta
Benedicta Okoli is a BACP counsellor with nine years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on relationship and life concerns and works with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity struggles. Benedicta also supports clients dealing with addiction, parenting strain, grief, and stress related to work or major life change.
She offers therapy that looks at how past experiences shape current relationships and feelings. Sessions are shaped around the person in front of her, so conversations and exercises are chosen to match each client's needs and goals. Benedicta combines practical tools with reflective dialogue to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
Her approach draws on therapies that help people accept difficult feelings while making choices that match their values. She also uses methods that focus on attachment and relational patterns, and client-centred work that keeps the person’s voice central. Cognitive strategies are used when helpful to manage upsetting thoughts and behaviours.
Benedicta is experienced in addressing issues such as ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating and sleep difficulties, intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue. She has worked with people affected by abuse, abandonment and complex family situations, and she supports those navigating sexuality and gender questions.
Sessions are offered in English and Igbo, and she accepts international clients. To begin, a short questionnaire is used to match prospective clients and then appointments are scheduled according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, and it supports choosing actions that match personal values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, addiction and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current bonds and reactions, and it is useful for relationship strain, intimacy issues and family conflict. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the person's experience central, offering a non-judgemental space where the client leads the pace and topics of the work.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Benedicta works collaboratively to find methods that fit a person's goals, needs and preferences. She will adapt sessions over time, combining approaches where that seems most helpful for the client's practical aims.
