Imade Ikponmwonsa

Imade Ikponmwonsa is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She also offers support around isolation, post-traumatic stress, women’s issues and questions about life purpose.

Imade works in a conversational, practical way. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on using their existing strengths. Sessions are aimed at clarifying what feels stuck and finding manageable steps forward. She talks through feelings, practical choices and how to build small routines that make a difference.

Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means she uses methods that map onto common patterns of stress, mood and adjustment problems, and adapts them to each person’s situation. She pays attention to how everyday life and relationships affect mood and motivation.

People come to her when grief, guilt, shame or big changes make it hard to move on. She offers a steady, direct way of looking at problems and testing what helps. Expectations and next steps are discussed together, and progress is reviewed as therapy continues.

Sessions are conducted in English and Imade works with international clients. Fees vary by location and are provided through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Imade draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts, behaviours and routines affect mood. One common approach targets unhelpful thinking patterns and helps people test new ways of interpreting situations. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and self-doubt.

She also uses behavioural and activity-focused methods that encourage small, doable changes in daily life. These techniques aim to rebuild routines, increase rewarding activities and reduce avoidance that feeds anxiety or depression. They work well for people coping with low motivation or life transitions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Imade discusses preferences, goals and practical constraints with each person and adjusts methods over time. She treats therapy as a collaborative process and checks progress regularly.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered. Please confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these benefits while helping clients apply therapeutic techniques to everyday situations.
