Joyce Akpogheneta , BACP

Joyce Akpogheneta is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) in the United Kingdom and brings more than a decade of therapeutic and professional experience to her work. She focuses on helping people understand and move through the lingering effects of unprocessed trauma, ongoing stress, persistent anxiety, and difficult anger responses.

Joyce approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert on their own life, and that both visible and hidden strengths can be called upon to navigate change. Her practice emphasizes understanding and acceptance as early steps toward greater calm and purpose, while also acknowledging the courage it takes to begin.

She offers steady, intentional support aimed at helping clients discover practical and meaningful ways forward. Joyce accompanies people through their challenges with hope and presence, working alongside them as they identify goals and build on inner resources to find what they need.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Joyce draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps people understand connection issues, attachment concerns, and how those patterns affect present relationships. She also uses client-centered therapy, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and insights guide the pace of work; this is often useful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and developing resilience. Additionally, motivational interviewing can be used to help people clarify their values and strengthen commitment to change, especially when motivation feels mixed or uncertain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Joyce works collaboratively with clients to identify methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate what feels most helpful and adjust the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Joyce is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to receive consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
