About Chijioke

Chijioke Onwuzuruike helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and depression using person-centred ways of working. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 11 years of professional experience.

He bases work on the idea that clients know their own story and have strengths to draw on. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and building practical steps forward. He uses clear, direct conversation and evidence-informed methods to address current problems and patterns that keep recurring.

Chijioke has worked across military and civilian settings. That experience informs how he understands stress related to role, transition and trauma. He pays attention to how culture and background shape feelings and relationships, and he brings that into planning sessions.

Therapy can include short-term problem-solving and longer work looking at deeper patterns. Tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness are used to handle distressing thoughts and overwhelming feelings. Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable goals.

He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at past experiences that affect present behaviour. Sessions are practical and conversational, aiming to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping. People can expect clear explanations of methods and collaborative planning of next steps.

Sessions are carried out in English and Chijioke accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online counselling

Chijioke uses client-centred work to prioritise the person’s own concerns, focusing on listening and reflective conversation to clarify what matters now. That approach helps when people need to talk through decisions, relationship issues or feelings of isolation.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thought patterns and test small behaviour changes. CBT is practical and often useful for anxiety, low mood and problems linked to substance use. Mindfulness techniques are used to develop present-moment awareness and simple ways to manage stress and strong emotions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Chijioke will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a plan together. Sessions can move between short-term problem-solving and deeper work depending on how things progress.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can help fit counselling into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins and making it easier to schedule around work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals often use video or phone options, but check which formats this counsellor currently offers.
