About Imade

Imade Ikponmwonsa works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and supports people coping with life changes. She uses a strengths-based approach that treats the client as the expert in their own story. Imade is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has six years of experience in the field.

She helps people talk through loss and bereavement, and addresses issues such as guilt, shame and forgiveness. She also supports those affected by natural or human-caused disasters and offers counselling around hospice and end-of-life concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can take to manage symptoms and daily challenges.

Her work includes attention to social anxiety, phobia and isolation, plus questions about life purpose and women’s issues. Imade offers space to reflect on motivation and confidence and to build coping strategies. Discussions are paced to fit the client’s needs and goals.

Imade draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions, explaining options and using approaches that match a client’s situation. She aims to make counselling straightforward and focused on clear, usable next steps. Over time clients can expect to review progress and adjust the approach as needed.

Sessions are carried out in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire then schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Imade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions. One common approach is straightforward problem-focused work that looks at current thoughts and behaviours and builds practical steps to reduce symptoms such as anxiety or low mood. This is useful for coping with everyday stress and for developing clear routines.

Another approach she may use involves processing experiences of loss and trauma through reflective conversation and paced review of difficult memories. That type of work helps people manage grief, guilt and feelings after a distressing event. Both approaches aim to give people tools they can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Imade works collaboratively to identify which techniques fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel, or choose a shorter check-in when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often offer sessions that suit different schedules, and Imade helps clients set up appointments that fit their everyday life.
