About Chibuike
Chibuike Ikechukwu is a counsellor who aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. He speaks English, Igbo and Yoruba and brings 11 years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. He helps people who are coping with major life changes and those facing relationship strains or struggles with self-worth.
He uses a blend of approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions are shaped around the individual's concerns, with space to talk, reflect and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Practical strategies and quieter reflective work are both part of his practice. Chibuike trained in counselling at the University of East London and completed a Diploma in Counselling from Oxford (ODL). His wider academic background includes degrees in theology, which inform his interest in meaning and values in life.
He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has worked in community settings and with people affected by immigration issues. That experience means he is familiar with the practical and emotional strains that major life changes bring.
In sessions he focuses on clear listening, calm questioning and building steps people can try between meetings. People can expect a respectful, direct approach. Conversations cover feelings, patterns of thinking, and small changes that can make daily life easier.
The aim is to help each person find their own direction and practical ways to manage difficult moments.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Existential therapy helps people think about meaning, choice and what matters to them. It can be useful for people feeling empty, stuck or facing major life changes because it focuses on values and personal responsibility.Client-centred therapy places the person at the heart of the session. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is heard and helps people find their own solutions to concerns like low self-esteem or relationship difficulties.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits for anxiety, depression and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text and chat work well for brief updates, written reflection and for people who prefer typing over speaking.
These options make therapy flexible and more accessible for people with busy schedules, travel constraints or those living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing to suit the online setting, so therapy stays practical and focused on what matters to the individual.
