About Benedicta
Benedicta Okoli is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years' experience. She sees adults in the United Kingdom and supports people facing issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, identity questions, and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Igbo and she accepts international clients.
Benedicta works with individuals, couples and groups. She often works with people dealing with family conflict, parenting strain, grief, problems with intimacy, and the pressures that come with career changes or life transitions. She also supports those affected by eating or sleeping problems, addiction, bipolar experience, or the emotional impact of chronic illness.
Her way of working draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural methods and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. In practice this means talking through what matters to the person, noticing patterns that keep problems going, and trying small, manageable changes between sessions.
Benedicta combines relationship coaching with psychotherapy when people bring concerns about commitment, communication or blended family dynamics. She pays attention to how early attachments and past losses shape current reactions and relationships. Meetings are planned around the client’s goals and practical needs.
People can expect clear discussion of goals, practical strategies to manage distress, and space to work through painful events at a steady pace. To start, guests complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service’s booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values rather than getting stuck in distressing thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising alternative ways of reacting to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape present interpersonal habits and aim to change how people relate to others and themselves.Benedicta treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and revise the plan if something isn’t working. The focus is on practical steps you can use between sessions as well as topics discussed during meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the original profile, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can help people fit therapy into study, work and busy days because it removes travel and can make scheduling shorter check-ins easier. It also means people in different locations can work together, and techniques such as behavioural experiments, homework tasks and emotion regulation skills transfer well to remote sessions.
