About Dumebi
Dumebi Onyejiaka is a counsellor who supports people facing relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, low self‑esteem, stress and anxiety. She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, anger and major life changes. Dumebi works with people on career worries, compassion fatigue and coping after separation or divorce.
Dumebi believes clients hold knowledge about their own lives. She uses that as the starting point and helps people notice strengths they already have.
Background and approach
Sessions are framed around clear, practical steps and time to talk things through without judgement. Her manner is calm and direct, suited to people wanting steady support. Her background includes five years of professional experience and registration with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
That experience has involved a range of relational and personal issues, including attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns and blended family stress. In sessions Dumebi draws on attachment‑based and client‑centred ideas to build understanding of patterns in relationships. She also uses psychodynamic and existential ways of looking at meaning and motivation when that helps someone make a change.
Motivational interviewing is used to support commitment and confidence to try new steps. She offers a practical, collaborative approach. Conversations focus on what matters now and on simple next actions people can try between sessions.
Dumebi works in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally by online formats.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Dumebi often works from an attachment‑based perspective, which means she pays attention to how early relationship patterns shape current attachments and reactions. This can help when someone struggles with trust, abandonment fears or repeating relationship cycles.She also uses client‑centred therapy, which gives people space to lead the conversation while the counsellor follows and reflects. That approach supports people who need to be heard, build self‑trust and decide what matters most to them.
The right approach is usually found together. Dumebi discusses goals, what has helped before and what feels comfortable, then adapts methods so they fit the person's needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps people test small changes and notice what works.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging to make therapy practical for everyday life. Video calls are good for face‑to‑face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and text options suit short check‑ins or people who prefer writing. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel and to keep momentum between sessions.
