Imade Ikponmwonsa, BACP

Imade Ikponmwonsa is a United Kingdom-based therapist who holds BACP accreditation, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings six years of professional experience to her practice. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, supports those coping with grief and loss, and helps clients build motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She also has experience treating depression and assisting clients through life transitions and challenging emotional states.

Imade approaches each person as the expert of their own story, looking for the strengths and resources they already possess. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering guidance and support while encouraging clients to take the lead on their goals. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life can require courage, and Imade aims to provide steady, compassionate support as clients work through obstacles and develop practical strategies for change.

Her practice emphasizes respect for each individual’s experience and focuses on achievable progress, helping people navigate difficult emotions and build greater resilience over time.

Practical Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Support

Imade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical strategies. One common element she employs is structured work on thoughts and behaviours - helping clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns, test alternative perspectives, and develop small actionable steps to reduce anxiety and lift mood. This approach is helpful for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.

She also offers supportive, goal-oriented work for grief and loss, helping clients process emotions, adjust to change, and find ways to rebuild purpose and routine after bereavement or difficult life events. This type of work combines empathetic listening with practical coping strategies to promote gradual recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Imade collaborates with each person to identify techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Imade is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose what works best for their schedule and communication style. Remote sessions make it easier to access regular support from wherever the client is located and can help maintain continuity of care during busy or changing circumstances.
