About Dumebi
Dumebi Onyejiaka helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, anger, career uncertainty and major life changes.

Her style is warm and person-focused. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and listens first before suggesting steps forward.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and grounded, with room to talk through painful memories and confusing emotions. Dumebi draws on approaches that look at how relationships and early experiences shape feelings and behaviour. She uses client-centred listening, psychodynamic ideas about patterns, and attachment-focused ways of understanding bonds.
Motivational interviewing helps when people feel stuck and unsure how to change. She has five years of professional experience and is registered with BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. That registration is noted exactly as supplied in her credentials.
Sessions are offered in English and Dumebi sees clients in the United Kingdom while also accepting international clients. Therapy can address specific issues such as abandonment, codependency, blended family problems, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, and hoarding concerns. Conversations in sessions balance honest reflection with practical steps.
Dumebi works alongside people to build clearer goals, notice recurring patterns and try new ways of coping. The aim is to help someone feel more able to manage relationships and daily life challenges.

How Dumebi adapts therapeutic approaches for online therapy
Therapies that focus on attachment look at how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this can mean talking about family histories and noticing recurring ways of relating to partners and close others. This approach can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and patterns of dependency.Client-centred work places the person and their experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and reflects what she hears so clients can better understand their feelings. This approach supports people working through shame, low self-esteem and decisions about life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dumebi will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals, needs and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adapts the style as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth situations. Live chat and messaging work well for quick reflections, journalling between sessions or when writing helps people organise thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel.
