About Ibrahim
Dr Ibrahim Ndabavunye offers practical support for people facing depression and related struggles. He speaks English and French and works from a straightforward, respectful style. He aims to make sessions easy to follow and focused on what the person needs right now.
He uses an integrative approach that draws on several recognised methods. Sessions typically begin with a clear conversation about current difficulties and goals. He then helps people try small, manageable steps that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Over 17 years of practice in the United Kingdom have shaped his way of working. He has experience with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem, career pressures, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Multicultural concerns are also a specific focus in his work.
Dr Ndabavunye uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based work among others. He blends these to suit the person in front of him rather than following a single method. Conversations are aimed at building useful skills, clarifying values and improving relationships.
Appointments are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People who choose to work with him usually start with a short matching process and then schedule sessions that fit their life. The emphasis is on steady practical change and a non-judgemental therapeutic relationship.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It teaches practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and to change behaviours that keep problems like depression or anxiety going.
Attachment-based work explores how past relationships affect current patterns. It helps people understand relationship habits and build healthier ways of relating to others and to themselves.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match the person's needs, goals and preferences. Sessions often combine elements from different approaches so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video can mirror in-person conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions.
