About Imade
Imade Ikponmwonsa is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with people who are carrying stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Her profile also notes work around life changes and issues such as guilt and shame.
She treats the person rather than the label. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that can make daily life easier. Imade invites people to talk through recent events, painful memories or stuck patterns and to notice the strengths they already use.
Her way of working is straightforward and conversational. She listens for how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact, then helps people try small experiments to change what is not working. Conversations might look at coping strategies, ways to rebuild confidence, or how to manage overwhelming worry.
Imade also has experience supporting people facing grief, loss and end-of-life concerns, and those affected by disasters. She helps people sort through difficult feelings such as guilt, shame or isolation, and to find practical ways to keep going day to day.
Sessions are for adults who want a practical, respectful approach to emotional difficulty. The booking process asks a few short questions, then you can schedule a first session to see how the approach fits your needs.
Imade offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP on her profile.
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Imade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand and change what keeps them stuck. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new ways of responding; this helps with anxiety, low mood and persistent self-criticism. Another approach emphasises small behavioural experiments and practical skills to reduce avoidance and build confidence, which can be useful for social anxiety, depression and motivation problems.Finding the right approach is part of her work together with each client. She will discuss what feels relevant, try methods out in session, and adjust the focus based on the person's needs, goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to what the client can manage.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life.
