About Chijioke
Chijioke Onwuzuruike is a counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and addiction. He works with individuals facing relationship strain, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. He makes space for people to tell their story and to find small, practical steps forward.
Chijioke has worked in both military and civilian settings over the past 11 years. That experience means he is used to different pressures and cultural backgrounds.
Background and approach
He approaches each person as the expert on their life and builds on existing strengths rather than starting from scratch. Sessions focus on plain talk and realistic goals. He uses approaches that help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, practise new ways of responding, and repair the things that matter most to them.
Work can include short-term problem solving or deeper exploration of past wounds, depending on what someone needs. People can expect a calm, steady presence in sessions and practical tools to use between meetings. Chijioke supports work on issues such as addiction, communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
He also offers guidance around end-of-life concerns and grief. He is BACP credentialed in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Chijioke accepts international clients and uses a range of online formats to make counselling fit into everyday life.
How Chijioke blends therapy approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own answers, which can be useful when anxiety or shame makes it hard to trust your judgement.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. It suits worries, low mood and many forms of addiction because it gives clear techniques to practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chijioke will discuss options and together you will choose methods that fit your goals, needs and preferences. Sometimes that means short-term, solution-focused work and sometimes deeper exploration over a longer period.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you keep eye contact and use visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or you prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging work well for short check-ins and steady support between calls. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caring commitments or travel, while keeping the focus on the progress you want to make.
