Dr. Theodora Adogu, BACP

Dr. Theodora Adogu is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She holds BACP credentialing and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions and low self-esteem. She aims to create a warm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.

She works with individuals facing relationship strain, family difficulties, and the emotional impact of trauma and abuse. She also supports people coping with eating issues, anger, and difficult life changes. Additional focus areas include blended family issues and process addictions such as porn, exercise or gambling.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-based ideas help explore how early relationship experiences shape current connections.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s needs. She listens for what matters most, then works with clients to set small, practical steps. The tone is straightforward and supportive rather than clinical.

Dr. Adogu also attends to issues around self-harm, sexual assault and abuse, forgiveness work, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters. She aims to empower people to make changes that fit their lives.

People who value clear communication and a steady, empathetic counsellor may find her style helpful. She offers work that blends practical techniques with space to make sense of painful experiences.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, clarify what matters most, and take small committed steps. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical exercises to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help when relationship stress or family dynamics are a concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try together. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can be adjusted as the work progresses.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let people see one another and use visual cues, while phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer written conversation or need flexible, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments, or travel, and they allow therapists to use exercises and worksheets just as they would in person.
