About Ijeabalum

Ijeabalum Asike is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She speaks English and Igbo and offers online work for people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Her way of working begins with a simple conversation to understand what matters to you right now.

Ijeabalum draws on six years of professional experience in psychological and counselling settings. She holds a degree in Psychology and two master's degrees - an MSc in Applied Psychology and an MSc in Counselling and Positive Psychology.

Background and approach

Those studies inform her practical approach to common problems such as depression, grief, addictions and compassion fatigue. In sessions she aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. Ijeabalum adapts the pace and focus to each person, listening first and making a plan together.

She works with relationship difficulties, parenting strain, intimacy concerns and communication problems by helping clients name feelings and priorities. She also supports people wrestling with trauma, attachment wounds, abandonment fears and self-esteem challenges. For neurodiverse clients she is experienced with autism and Asperger syndrome related issues and the practical strains they can bring.

Her practice uses client-centred principles alongside emotionally-focused and mindfulness-based techniques. That means sessions tend to be conversational, focused on emotions, and include attention training or grounding when helpful. The aim is to build clearer choices and steadier coping between sessions.

Ways of working Ijeabalum names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How her approaches work online

Ijeabalum uses client-centred work to help people feel heard and to guide sessions by each person's priorities. This approach focuses on building understanding through open conversation and choosing goals together.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, which pays attention to patterns of feeling and connection. EFT-style work helps when relationship patterns, attachment wounds or repeated emotional cycles are causing distress. Mindfulness therapy is used for grounding and attention training, helping with anxiety, stress and coping during difficult moments.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and decide together what to try. That collaborative planning can change as progress is made or circumstances shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for deeper emotional work and visual cues, phone calls can fit into busy days or use less bandwidth, and messaging or chat works for short check-ins or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while keeping the focus on practical coping and steady progress.
