About Ibrahim
Dr Ibrahim Ndabavunye helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. He introduces clear, practical ways to manage feelings and stay functioning. He also supports people dealing with relationship strain, grief, work issues and concerns about sleep or eating.
Dr Ndabavunye communicates in English and French and works with international clients. He draws on 17 years of experience in mental health across public and personal settings. That background shapes a flexible approach that adapts to each person's needs rather than a single fixed method.
How Ibrahim works
Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small steps that make a difference in daily life. In practice he uses well known therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy alongside client-centred and attachment-based work.
That mix lets him offer skills for managing thoughts and emotions, while also exploring relationship patterns and personal values. People can expect straightforward sessions that combine talking, practical exercises and skills training. He aims to make sessions collaborative so clients set the pace and goals.
Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted when needed. Dr Ndabavunye frames therapy with cultural awareness and attention to how identity and background shape experience. He pays attention to compassion fatigue, career pressures and the everyday stresses that affect wellbeing.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical behavioural exercises. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and many everyday stresses.
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape the ways people connect and react now, and it can help with intimacy-related issues and repeated relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and therapist make decisions collaboratively so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to attend therapy around work, travel or family life while keeping the focus on progress and skills practice.
