About Dumebi
Dumebi Onyejiaka is a counsellor who helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict and parenting challenges. She also supports those coping with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, grief and the effects of trauma. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more able to manage daily life.
She believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to change. Sessions focus on listening first, then working together to find small, doable steps.
Background and approach
Dumebi aims to build confidence and motivation rather than handing out one-size-fits-all advice. Her background includes five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She uses that training to combine different ways of working so each plan fits the person in front of her.
In practice she draws on attachment-based ideas to understand close relationships and psychodynamic thinking to notice recurring patterns from the past. She also uses client-centred and motivational techniques to keep the work practical and focused on the client’s own goals. Sessions tend to be calm and collaborative.
People leave with clearer choices and simple tools to try between meetings. Dumebi welcomes conversations about parenting pressures, caregiver stress, blended family issues and the emotional fallout of separation and loss.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections affect current relationships and aims to help people notice and shift unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for parenting worries, intimacy concerns and repeated relationship difficulties. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, offering empathetic listening and space to find one’s own solutions; it helps when someone needs to build self-esteem or clarify values.Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Dumebi will discuss different approaches and decide together with the client which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration shapes plans and helps adjust the focus over time if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or to use therapy in shorter moments during the day. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity and try different formats until a comfortable routine emerges.
