About Chibuike

Chibuike Ikechukwu offers calm, practical help for people feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed. He writes simply and listens closely to understand what is most pressing. He aims to help people notice what matters, make small changes, and build steadier day-to-day coping.

He has worked in counselling and psychotherapy for 11 years and brings a broad education in theology and counselling to his practice. He holds a Bachelor of Science, a Master of Science and a PhD in Theology, plus a Diploma in Counselling from Oxford (ODL) and a BSc in Counselling from the University of East London.

Background and approach

He is listed with BACP. In sessions he uses a mix of approaches to suit the person in front of him. That can mean gentle reflection, practical thinking exercises, or looking at how feelings and relationships shape current struggles.

He often draws on mindfulness to help people manage overwhelming emotions. Chibuike has worked with people facing relationship trouble, low self-esteem, depression, life changes and issues linked to immigration. He also helps people dealing with addiction, fatherhood stresses, fertility worries and problems around trust or abandonment.

He offers conversations in English, Igbo and Yoruba, and will work with international clients. Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text message to fit different needs and routines. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and a scheduling step are used to arrange the first appointment.

How Chibuike uses different approaches in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, listening space where the person's own goals guide the work. It helps people feel heard and encourages self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and uses practical exercises to shift those patterns, which is useful for anxiety and low mood.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and relationship patterns to help people understand and change how they connect with others. It can be helpful for relationship distress, attachment issues or for anyone wanting clearer emotional awareness. Chibuike will talk with each person about what methods feel most helpful and will tailor the mix of approaches to their needs and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can be useful for shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, travel or family life while still using evidence-informed approaches and professional clinical judgement.
