About Theodora
Dr. Theodora Adogu practises in the United Kingdom and brings six years of professional experience to her counselling work. She holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP, and offers sessions in English.
Her approach centres on creating a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult things and start making changes. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety and depression. Addictions are a frequent focus, including process addictions such as porn, exercise and gambling.
How Theodora works
She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, sexual assault, self-harm and eating difficulties. Relationship and family matters are part of her practice. She helps individuals manage relationship tensions, blended family issues and the impacts of major life changes.
Parenting stresses, anger and problems with self-esteem are also addressed in sessions. Dr Adogu draws on several practical approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred methods are used to identify unhelpful patterns and build forward steps.
Attachment-based and existential ideas shape conversations about meaning, values and how past relationships affect present life. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person's needs. She works with people to set small, achievable goals, practise coping skills and develop new ways of responding to triggers.
The aim is to help people gain clearer perspective and stronger day-to-day coping.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Dr Adogu draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and helps people try different responses. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while moving towards a more meaningful life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses options with each person and together they decide which methods suit the person's goals and preferences. This collaborative process means the plan can change over time as needs shift.
Online sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter updates, reflection between sessions or people who prefer writing. These formats make regular therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
