Ebi Mensah

Ebi Mensah is a BACP counsellor who works in a person-centred way to help people manage stress, anger and life changes. She keeps sessions warm and direct, helping clients speak about what matters and find practical next steps. Ebi invites people to bring their real worries and works alongside them without judgement.

She draws on attachment awareness to help people understand patterns in relationships and emotional reactions. That can be useful for issues such as anxiety, grief, intimacy-related concerns and problems with trust or abandonment. Ebi also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help clients spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours.

Her background as a British African informs her understanding of cultural beliefs and the strain of feeling different. She says this perspective helps when conversations touch on identity, family expectations or values. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on small, practical steps towards those goals.

Ebi offers one-on-one counselling for people aiming to resolve internal conflict or to move forward with career or personal goals. She also provides support for counsellors in training who are adjusting to professional life and clinical practice. Her approach blends listening with clear, teachable ideas people can use between sessions.

She has five years' experience and holds BACP accreditation. The volume of her past work shows a high level of direct client contact and many live sessions. Ebi encourages people to be open to the process and to view therapy as a collaborative journey.

How Ebi's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape emotional responses now. It helps people see patterns in trust, closeness and anger and understand why they might react a certain way in relationships. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of each session, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and gentle reflection to help people feel heard and to find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps break cycles of worrying or unhelpful behaviour by noticing thoughts, testing them and trying small behaviour experiments between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, needs and preferences and then agree on ways of working together. That collaborative decision can shift as progress is made and as different issues come up.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as during a lunch break or an evening after work. It can also support people who want to use structured CBT exercises or attachment-focused conversations without travelling.
