About Dumebi
Dumebi Onyejiaka is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, family and parenting concerns, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety and depression. She also offers support for trauma, grief, anger and career-related worries. Dumebi writes in plain terms and aims to make the first step feel manageable for a worried parent or person juggling many pressures.
She believes clients are the experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear, practical conversations and small, achievable steps. Dumebi encourages clients to name what matters most and to try changes that fit their daily life. Her style blends talking work with seeing how patterns began and continue to affect relationships.
She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape expectations. She also draws on client-centred listening to prioritise the person’s experience and values. Over five years of practice have included work with people dealing with compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, abandonment and attachment concerns, codependency and blended family issues.
Dumebi pays attention to practical problems such as hoarding, control issues and separation challenges, as well as emotional themes like guilt, shame and forgiveness. Based in the United Kingdom, she holds BACP registration with a background in psychodynamic and existential thinking. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Her approach aims to be steady and collaborative, with pacing set to each client’s comfort and needs.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dumebi treats the choice of methods as collaborative and responsive to each person's needs, goals and preferences. She may draw on different ideas across sessions and adjust the focus as progress is made.
Online sessions can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video allows face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work, and chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options help people access therapy from wherever they are and make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions.
