About Theodora
Dr. Theodora Adogu is a counsellor with six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and a BACP credential. She offers a calm, straightforward way of working for people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes.
She aims to make the first step easier by listening closely and responding without judgement. Her approach is practical and person-focused. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments to change how people feel.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and still move towards what matters to them. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth. Theodora works to create an open space where people can talk about trauma, addiction, relationship strain, eating concerns, parenting pressures and anger.
She supports people dealing with bereavement, blended family issues, natural or human-caused disaster recovery and forgiveness work. She also offers help for process addictions such as problematic porn use, exercise or gambling, and for people affected by sexual assault, self-harm or abuse. Theodora combines client-centred listening with practical tools so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions.
People who prefer clear options and gentle challenge tend to fit well with her style. She welcomes international clients and runs sessions in English using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions online.
How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone towards a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping with loss.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying brief exercises or behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options with the client and tailors techniques to their goals and preferences. This happens collaboratively so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats increase flexibility, reduce travel time and let people keep continuity of care across locations while working with registered or accredited professionals.
