Imade Ikponmwonsa , BACP

Imade Ikponmwonsa is a UK-licensed therapist with four years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She works with clients who are struggling with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, offering practical and compassionate guidance aimed at everyday challenges and emotional recovery.

Imade approaches each person as the expert of their own story, looking for strengths to build on rather than focusing solely on problems. She believes small shifts in thinking and behavior can open the way to more fulfilling and happier lives, and she supports clients as they take the often-difficult first steps toward change. Taking that first step requires courage, and Imade aims to provide steady, encouraging support throughout the process.

She holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates adherence to professional standards for counsellors and therapists in the UK. Imade offers a collaborative, person-centered approach that helps people manage difficult emotions and regain a sense of direction and resilience.

Evidence-based approaches for online support

Imade uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms of anxiety and depression by helping them identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills. These skills are taught in straightforward steps aimed at reducing worry, improving mood, and increasing day-to-day functioning.

She also offers focused support for grief and loss that helps clients process bereavement and adapt to life changes. This approach combines emotional exploration with strategies for restoring routine, meaning, and connection after loss. For clients affected by trauma-related symptoms, Imade applies trauma-informed coping strategies that prioritize safety, pacing, and grounding techniques to support recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Imade works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person s needs, goals, and preferences. Over time she helps clients evaluate what feels most effective and adjusts the plan together.

Online therapy with Imade offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each session.
