Dr. Theodora Adogu is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She focuses on helping people who are coping with anxiety, stress, addictions, depression and relationship difficulties.

Her work aims to make it easier to talk about painful events and troubling habits without feeling judged. She creates a calm, open space so people can say what they need to say.

Background and approach

The first sessions are about understanding each person’s situation and what they want to change. From there she and the client agree practical steps and goals that feel manageable. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including family conflict, parenting strain, blended family issues, and coping after disasters.

She also supports people dealing with trauma, sexual assault and abuse, self-harm, eating problems and process addictions such as pornography, exercise or gambling. She will work at a pace that suits the individual. Dr Adogu uses a mix of approaches to match different needs.

This includes cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful patterns, acceptance-based work to build tolerance for difficult feelings, and attachment-informed ideas to improve relationship dynamics. Sessions focus on simple, practical tools you can try between meetings. She aims to empower people to make steady changes and regain a sense of control.

The approach is collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to what matters most to each person. Language offered is English and international clients are accepted.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online

Dr Adogu commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people accept difficult feelings while taking committed steps towards what matters to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and persistent unhelpful habits.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach helps people who want clearer boundaries or healthier ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments to change outcomes; it often helps with stress, anxiety and low mood.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and adapt methods to the client’s goals, needs and preferences. Therapy is collaborative and flexible, so techniques are chosen that feel useful and doable.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls are good for visual connection and fuller discussion, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a shorter check-in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and travel commitments while keeping care accessible.
