About Imade
Imade Ikponmwonsa is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and supports those coping with life changes. Imade also focuses on issues such as isolation, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people understand what matters to them now. Sessions focus on practical steps and on noticing existing strengths. Imade believes clients know their stories best and she offers guided reflection rather than directives.
People often come for help after a change at work, a loss, or when motivation feels low. Imade talks through coping strategies, pacing, and ways to rebuild confidence. She helps people name priorities and try small, manageable experiments between sessions.
Her background includes work with grief, hospice and end-of-life issues, and helping people recover after disasters or traumatic events. That experience informs how she supports people through intense emotions and practical decisions.
Sessions are carried out in English and she accepts international clients. Imade explains therapy options clearly and asks about practical constraints so sessions fit into everyday life. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service button.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions fit
Imade draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One common approach looks at thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and depression by testing unhelpful thinking and trying small behavioural changes. This kind of work helps when worry or low mood get in the way of daily life.Another approach emphasises processing loss and grief through talking, remembering and finding ways to manage strong emotions. This is useful for people dealing with bereavement, hospice-related decisions, or ongoing sorrow after a disaster or traumatic event.
Figuring out the best approach is part of the process. She will discuss different methods and work with each person to choose what fits their goals and everyday demands. That conversation is collaborative and revisited as needs change.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can also make it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed or to meet without being on camera if that feels better. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific options.
