About Imade
Imade Ikponmwonsa is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self‑esteem and depression. She focuses on supporting clients through life changes and moments that feel overwhelming. Imade works in English and offers online therapy to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
She approaches work with calm and straightforward guidance. Imade believes clients are the experts in their own lives and draws on their strengths to find practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be a space to talk honestly and plan small, achievable changes. With six years of experience she has guided people through loss, reduced motivation and the burden of guilt or shame. She has also supported those coping with disasters, end‑of‑life concerns and feelings of isolation.
Imade pays particular attention to social anxiety, phobias and women’s issues where these affect everyday functioning. Imade lists membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, in her credentials. She uses evidence‑based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs rather than following a single formula.
In sessions clients can expect practical conversation, listening and gentle challenge when it helps. The aim is to leave with clearer understanding and manageable next steps. Imade offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text‑based messaging to suit different routines and comfort levels.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy fits
Two common evidence‑based approaches Imade uses are practical problem‑solving and grief‑focused support. Practical problem‑solving helps break large problems into manageable steps and suits stress, anxiety and life‑change issues. Grief‑focused support offers space to acknowledge loss, process emotions and find ways to adapt day‑to‑day routines when someone is grieving.Imade treats the choice of method as a shared process. She will discuss what feels most helpful and try different ways of working if needed. Together they set goals and review progress so the approach matches the person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face‑to‑face conversation for deeper connection. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text‑based messaging suit shorter check‑ins, quick reflections or people who prefer to write rather than speak. These options let people fit therapy into work, travel or family routines while keeping consistent contact with a therapist.
