About Promise
Promise Igba is an AASW social worker with eight years' experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and self-esteem issues. He works with adults who want clearer emotional understanding and steadier daily functioning. Sessions are offered in English in Australia.
Promise uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people name feelings and shift patterns that cause pain. He draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions and attachment shape reactions. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy tools to address thoughts, behaviours and values-based action.
In sessions he focuses on current problems and observable patterns. Conversations look at what happens in relationships, how past hurts affect choices, and small steps someone can try between meetings. Techniques include reflective listening, behaviour experiments and values clarification.
Promise has a master’s in social work and uses his eight years of practice to support recovery from abuse and trauma. He also works with issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace stress and caregiver strain. He sometimes runs workshops and partners with community groups on emotional wellbeing topics.
People can expect straightforward explanations of each approach and practical homework when it will help. Outside work he enjoys family time and football (soccer).
How Promise uses EFT, ACT and attachment work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming and processing emotions that drive relationship and personal patterns. It helps people see how emotion shapes reactions and seeks clearer emotional responses rather than avoiding feeling.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, panic and workplace stress because it combines mindfulness with practical steps.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection styles influence current relationships and self-understanding. It is useful when attachment issues, caregiver stress or communication problems are part of the difficulty.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Promise will discuss which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences, and make choices together. That way sessions link directly to what someone wants to change or understand.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera. These practical benefits help many people keep therapy consistent while balancing family, work and other commitments.
