About Litea

Litea Dakunimata is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strains and major life changes. Litea also helps with grief, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse concerns, and career or depression-related worries.

Her approach is person-focused and direct. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the client. From there she and the client decide how to proceed, using conversation and reflection to make sense of difficult feelings and patterns.

She uses client-centred methods to prioritise the client's perspective. That means the person's experience guides the work and choices in sessions. She also draws on existential ideas to address questions about meaning, identity and the pressures of adult life.

People often come to her for relationship and intimacy issues, family-related stress, or to cope with loss and anger. She also supports those dealing with abandonment, blended family problems, caregiver strain, immigration-related difficulties, guilt, shame and emptiness.

Sessions are conducted in English and German. Litea accepts clients from outside the UK and asks prospective clients to follow the site's process to begin, including a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session. She uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and notes that fees vary with location.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's experience and priorities. In practice this means sessions start with the person's concerns and move at their pace, which can help with self-esteem, relationship problems and coping with change.

Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, identity and responsibility in life. It can be useful for people struggling with feeling lost after university, career doubts, or the pressure to make life choices in early adulthood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods based on the client's goals, needs and preferences. That choice is made collaboratively rather than fixed in advance.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around study, work or travel. They also allow for flexible check-ins, quieter arrangements when needed, or shorter sessions that fit a lunch break, depending on the format offered. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to help keep therapy practical and accessible.
