Dumebi Onyejiaka, BACP

Dumebi Onyejiaka helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy worries, anger, career questions, depression and life transitions. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and control concerns, and problems linked to divorce, domestic violence and fatherhood. Dumebi is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.

Her style is calm and straightforward. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life. Sessions are practical and conversational. Dumebi encourages small, doable steps that fit into everyday life.

In the room she draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to understand relationships and emotional needs. She also uses psychodynamic and existential perspectives to look at patterns and meaning, and motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. These approaches are used together to suit each person.

Over five years she has worked with a range of relational and personal issues. That experience informs how she helps people untangle old patterns and rebuild trust in themselves. She pays attention to emotions, safety and practical ways to cope.

People can expect clear, respectful conversation and a focus on what matters most to them. Dumebi offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works with the therapist's availability.

Sessions are offered through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Costs vary with location and therapist availability.

How these approaches work online

Dumebi uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when worry, trust or closeness feel difficult in adult relationships. She also uses client-centred work which puts the person’s perspective first and aims to make sessions feel listened to and understood. That approach is useful for building confidence and exploring what matters most.

She will help clients choose which approach fits best. Finding the right therapeutic method is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals and preferences and then try ways of working together that feel helpful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video helps keep visual connection for emotional conversations. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while still receiving consistent support.
