About Dumebi
BACP. Five years' experience. Dumebi Onyejiaka works with people on relationships, family and parenting concerns, and on issues such as self-esteem, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, anger and depression. She also focuses on matters like attachment and abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and control issues, and practical problems such as hoarding and fatherhood issues.
Dumebi uses a mix of approaches in her counselling practice. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. She uses client-centred ways of working that listen to the person's own goals and priorities. She also brings elements of psychodynamic thinking, existential questions and motivational interviewing into sessions as needed.
Sessions are conversational and direct. Dumebi asks questions, reflects what she hears and helps clients notice patterns in how they relate to others. She works with practical concerns and emotional material so people can make clearer decisions and act on them. She explains ideas in plain language and keeps sessions focused on what the client wants to address.
People come to her for short-term work and for longer-term support. She helps with immediate problems like managing stress or coping after loss, and with deeper issues such as repeating relationship patterns or longstanding attachment difficulties. Her way of working aims to make difficult topics more understandable and more manageable.
Dumebi practices in the United Kingdom and offers work in English. She has five years' professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps when people repeat familiar behaviours in close relationships or struggle with trust and closeness. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and resources, using listening and reflection to help someone clarify what they want and how to move forward. Existential Therapy addresses questions about meaning, choice and responsibility and can help when life changes or losses raise deeper worries about purpose and direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dumebi will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan with the client based on their needs, goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
The practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into everyday life and reducing travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, have sessions without being on camera, or arrange appointments around work and family commitments.
