Ijeabalum Asike

Ijeabalum Asike is a counsellor who helps people manage anger and related struggles. She offers calm, straightforward support that focuses on what matters most to each person. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, aimed at helping people feel heard and safer to talk about difficult feelings.

She works from a clear, person-focused approach. Conversations are shaped around the client's goals and practical next steps. Sessions can include looking at thoughts and reactions, exploring emotional patterns, and learning simple skills to reduce reactivity and improve communication.

Asike has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds a BACP credential from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background includes a degree in Psychology and two masters degrees in Applied Psychology and Counselling and Positive Psychology. She draws on that training when tailoring support for each person.

People often come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family concerns, addiction, parenting strain, ADHD, and self-esteem problems. She also works with a wide range of related issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image, and communication problems.

Her sessions aim to combine listening with practical strategies. That might mean learning ways to notice anger earlier, practising calmer responses, or building routines that reduce overwhelm. She encourages small, steady steps and adjusts the plan as clients make progress.

How her approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs space to talk, to be heard, and to make sense of feelings at their own pace.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how people experience and respond to emotions in close relationships. It can be useful for understanding anger, attachment worries, and patterns that keep repeating in relationships.

Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions before they escalate. These techniques can help with anxiety, stress and managing sudden bursts of anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they will try ways of working that feel helpful. The plan is adjusted as needs change and progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, and join from another location when needed. It also allows for flexible check-ins and shorter appointments when a full in-person visit is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can work with clients across distances, and this counsellor supports international clients where that is appropriate.
