About Ijeabalum
Ijeabalum Asike is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also helps with family conflict, trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related issues and challenges tied to parenting. Sessions are offered in English and Igbo.
She draws on six years of professional experience and holds a Bachelor degree in Psychology plus two Masters degrees - an MSc in Applied Psychology and an MSc in Counselling and Positive Psychology. Her BACP credential is listed as BACP and is used to indicate professional registration in the UK.
In sessions the focus is practical and person-led. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation. That might mean slowing down to work through painful memories, practising mindfulness exercises, or mapping out steps to manage everyday stress.
Her use of Client-Centred principles means she aims to listen without judgement and follow what the person brings. Emotionally-Focused ideas guide work on relationships and attachment, while mindfulness techniques support managing strong emotions and building calm.
People often come for help with life changes, career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges and chronic health concerns. She also works with issues such as abandonment, body image, communication problems and caregiving stress.
Ijeabalum encourages a collaborative approach. She will tailor the dialogue and a therapy plan to each person’s needs and goals, and supports people as they take steps toward change.
How these approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following each person’s lead. Online sessions allow the counsellor to ask simple, open questions and reflect what the client brings, helping people feel heard and understood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at feelings and attachment patterns in relationships. In an online setting this can help people map emotional responses, practise new ways of connecting and work through painful relational moments. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations. Those practices can be used between sessions to manage anxiety, stress and strong emotions.Choosing the best approach is part of the early work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That makes therapy a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. It also supports practising skills in everyday contexts, such as using mindfulness during a work break or rehearsing a difficult conversation on a quieter day.
