Ijeabalum Asike

Appointments available week days excpect Wednesday.

I am Ijeabalum Asike (Ije),  a qualified counsellor and registered with BACP. I practice an integrative approach because my training background is person-centred and positive psychology. The person-centred approach forms the foundation of my work, where we focus on you, in exploring your emotions and support you in navigating the challenges of life.

Our sessions are client-led, where you are free to express your emotions, be authentic, and practice kindness to yourself. I provide a space where you can feel heard and respected, with no fear of judgment.

We work together to explore your emotions at your pace. Then find and resolve any unresolved emotions, and enable you make sense of them. The sessions are tailored to your needs and goals to help you delve deeper into yourself, gain more perspective, and build resilience.

I also support you in discovering your strengths and integrate them into your daily life.

I am a qualified Person-centred and positive psychology counsellor. I have an MSc in counselling and Positive Psychology from the University of Greater Manchester, and therefore, I refer to myself as an integrative counsellor. I engage in Continuing Professional Development (CPD). To enable me maintain, enhance, and broaden my knowledge and skills in my practice. 

This helps me tailor my session to individual client needs. I believe that each person has a unique experience with the challenges they are facing. 

I work with young people, adults and older adults to explore their emotions and challenges. I provide a safe space free of judgment and filled with empathy.  I have experience in working with clients with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, family conflicts, trauma, abuse, grief, self-esteem, neurodiversity and chronic illness.

I also help clients:

Connect with their inner child.

Heal from trauma.

Learn self-compassion while challenging their thoughts.

Rediscover oneself through self-awareness, acceptance, and the identification and integration of strengths into everyday life.

I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss me and my work.

It is an opportunity to explore your counselling expectations.

If you decide to work with me, we can then schedule a session.

Full sessions last for approximately 50 minutes.
