Dumebi OnyejiakaBACP

Dumebi Onyejiaka is a counsellor who helps people navigate relationship strain, parenting stresses, anxiety, depression and the fallout from trauma and loss. She supports those facing family conflict, intimacy-related struggles, anger and career worries. Dumebi also works with people managing compassion fatigue, stress, self-esteem issues and the practical challenges of life change.

She approaches therapy from a belief that each person knows their own story best. Sessions focus on listening, asking gentle questions and helping people notice patterns that get in the way. Dumebi uses a mix of approaches to help clients clarify values, rebuild trust in relationships and manage difficult emotions.

Her background includes five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience underpins her work with attachment issues, abandonment concerns and the long-running impact of past abuse or loss.

Dumebi tends to work in a conversational and reflective style. She offers practical ways to try out different choices between sessions, and helps clients review what does and does not work. The aim is to increase confidence, reduce overwhelm and help people move towards more satisfying relationships and daily routines.

People who come to her often want help with blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and fatherhood issues. She also supports those dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness and hoarding-related distress.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It helps people understand how early bonds shape reactions to partners and family members, and supports rebuilding trust and safer ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, with the counsellor following the client's pace and priorities to build confidence and self-understanding.

Dumebi will work collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches. She will listen to your concerns and goals, then suggest options that match what you want to change. Decisions about methods and focus happen together and can shift as things progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people meet from different locations, which helps when juggling work, care or other commitments.
