Litea Dakunimata, BACP

Litea Dakunimata is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She has six years of experience helping people through stressful life moments and painful emotions. Litea works in English and German and accepts international clients. She focuses on issues such as grief, depression, low self-esteem and trauma or abuse. Relationship and intimacy problems are also common concerns she helps people talk through. Parenting challenges, anger and career stress are part of her caseload too. Her style centres on straightforward conversation and gentle honesty. Litea adapts the sessions to each person, shaping what they discuss and the pace of work to fit their situation. She aims to support people to feel more empowered and able to make changes. She draws on client-centred approaches that prioritise the person’s experience and choices. Existential ideas also inform her work, helping people think about meaning, responsibility and life direction when facing big changes. Practical steps are part of sessions rather than abstract theory. Litea will help people identify small, achievable changes and notice what helps or gets in the way. The goal is to reduce overwhelm and build clearer ways forward. If someone prefers to speak in German that option is available. Litea offers a reflective, respectful space for people wanting support with family issues, abandonment, caregiver stress, immigration concerns and a range of other difficulties.

How Litea's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard, to build self-understanding and to decide their own next steps. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in life. It can help when people face major changes, feel empty or struggle with questions about direction and commitment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Litea works together with each person to choose what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, then adapt methods as the work progresses. This collaborative way makes it easier to try different ways of working until something feels helpful.

Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people speak face to face when that helps connection. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter reflections or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around daily life and differing needs.
