About Litea

Litea Dakunimata is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with adults on relationship strains, family concerns and life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and German and she accepts international clients.

She helps people deal with grief, low self-esteem and reactions to trauma and abuse. She also supports those facing parenting pressures, anger, career change and depression. Litea lists blended family issues among her additional focuses and can help people manage loyalties, new routines and communication problems that come with stephouseholds.

Litea uses client-centred and existential approaches in her work. That means she pays attention to what matters to the person in front of her and looks at how life choices and meaning affect day-to-day problems. Conversations aim to clarify values, improve difficult conversations and reduce overwhelming feelings.

Her way of working is direct and respectful. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as reflection. People can expect time to talk through current difficulties, name patterns that repeat, and try out new responses to stressful situations.

She asks clients to start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then booking a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Litea keeps the language simple and uses plain questions to understand what each person needs. She will collaborate on what comes next and help set small goals to make everyday life easier.

Approaches in online counselling and what they offer

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the conversation. The therapist listens with attention and follows the client's lead to uncover what feels most important. This approach is often helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns and grief where being heard and understood matters.

Existential Therapy looks at choices, values and meaning in life. It helps people who are facing big changes, difficult decisions or a sense of emptiness to name what matters and consider different directions. This approach can support those dealing with life transitions and questions around commitment or identity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Litea will discuss these styles with the client and decide together which fits best for the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative decision is reviewed over time as needs change.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. In practical terms, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, save travel time and allow a quieter check-in during a break. Different formats can suit different days - for example a brief audio call for a quick update, or a longer video session for deeper conversation - so it helps to choose what works with daily routines.
