About Benedicta
Benedicta Okoli is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with nine years of experience. She sees people facing relationship strains, trauma, anxiety and depression. She also supports those coping with addictions, parenting pressures, grief and career-related stress.
Benedicta works with individuals and couples. She helps people name emotions and patterns that cause repeated conflict. She also offers coaching for relationship and life goals when clients want structured steps alongside therapy.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. In sessions she focuses on feelings, how they link to relationships, and practical ways to change unhelpful reactions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred methods where they fit the work.
People meet in conversation that aims to make difficult topics clearer. Benedicta listens for recurring themes such as abandonment or attachment struggles. She also pays attention to issues like body image, eating and sleeping problems, and neurodiversity concerns that come up in therapy.
Sessions include talking through past hurts and trying new ways of responding in relationships. She can work with people impacted by abuse, adoption or foster care experiences, chronic illness and caregiving stress. Sessions are offered in English and Igbo and she accepts international clients.
To begin, clients use the platform process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Benedicta uses EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships. It helps people name hard-to-reach feelings and understand how these feelings affect interactions with partners or family. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, choose valued directions, and take small steps toward those values. ACT can support work on anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and reacting. It can be useful for worries about abandonment, commitment or trust.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Benedicta will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest which of these methods to use. The selection is collaborative and may change as the work progresses.
