About Joyce
Joyce Akpogheneta is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) with 11 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, relationship and family strains, grief, parenting challenges, anger and depression. Joyce also focuses on issues such as attachment difficulties, blended family issues, dissociation and multicultural concerns.
She uses a mix of approaches that include attachment-based, client-centred, psychodynamic and solution-focused ways of working. In a session she listens for patterns from the past that still affect day-to-day life. She helps people identify strengths they already have and practical steps they can try between sessions.
Conversations tend to be straightforward and paced to the person. Joyce aims to be attentive to where someone is emotionally and to work with their goals. She pays particular attention to how relationships and early attachments shape current problems, and to how stress and trauma can affect thinking and behaviour.
Her experience covers both acute and ongoing concerns. She offers support to people coping with major life changes and with the particular stresses that come from parenting or blending households. Joyce welcomes enquiries from people located in the United Kingdom and from international clients who prefer English.
Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and costs vary by location. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Joyce integrates therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence current feelings and behaviour. It helps when someone struggles with trust, closeness or recurring relationship patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It uses active listening and reflection so people can find their own solutions and build on their strengths.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Joyce will discuss options and decide with the client which methods fit their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. That collaborative process can change as concerns evolve.
The practical aim of online sessions is to fit talking therapy into everyday life. The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to attend from different locations, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and suit people who prefer not to travel. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors can use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to offer flexible scheduling that fits work and family rhythms.
