Ebikefe Eldridge, BACP

Ebikefe Eldridge is a therapist who blends mindfulness practice with cognitive behavioural techniques to support recovery and emotional regulation. She uses psychoeducational CBT strategies when addressing somatic responses to trauma, helping clients understand the links between thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. Her work is grounded in a person-centred ethos and informed by psychodynamic ideas, offering a reflective space to explore patterns and early influences. Solution-focused methods are incorporated for short-term work to clarify goals and keep therapy practical and outcome-oriented.

She has experience supporting a diverse range of people facing complex grief and trauma, racial discrimination, anxiety, and feelings of alienation or isolation. LGBTQIA+ clients are explicitly welcomed and she identifies as an ally who aims to create an accepting therapeutic atmosphere. Ebikefe provides one-to-one online support using evidence-based counselling approaches and offers both short-term programmes of around 12 weeks and longer-term pathways of 24 weeks or more.

For those who view talking therapy as an act of self-care, she frames regular sessions as time set aside for reflection, insight and change. Prospective clients who are ready to take steps toward a different experience of life are invited to begin the process with her. She holds the BACP credential, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Ebikefe integrates client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices into her online work. Client-centred therapy provides a non-directive, empathetic space where clients are supported to explore their feelings and find their own solutions - it is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. CBT is a structured, problem-focused approach that helps people identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding techniques that can ease stress, improve emotional regulation, and assist with trauma-related somatic responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is treated as a collaborative decision. Ebikefe will work with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments. These options increase accessibility and allow continuity of care for people who prefer or require remote support, while still enabling meaningful therapeutic work with registered professionals and therapists.
