About Joyce
Joyce Akpogheneta is a counsellor and an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings 11 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and the effects of unprocessed trauma. Joyce works in a straightforward, compassionate way that aims to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life.
She focuses on concerns such as parenting strain, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anger and depression. Joyce also addresses issues like compassion fatigue, coping with life changes and challenges faced by young adults. Her wider interests include attachment issues, blended family difficulties and multicultural concerns.
Joyce uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. Client-centred methods help people find their own sense of direction and agency. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set realistic steps forward.
Her practice emphasises listening first, then helping people identify practical next steps. Conversations are guided by what the person already knows about their life, and by small, achievable goals. Joyce aims to build a calm, intentional space where people can talk things through and practise new ways of coping.
Joyce works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. She accepts international clients and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.
How Joyce's approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how past bonds affect feelings today. Online sessions can help people notice and change those patterns by talking through relationship history and current reactions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own direction; in this way the therapist reflects back what matters most so the person can decide next steps. Motivational Interviewing helps people move from thinking about change to taking small actions, using short collaborative conversations to build momentum.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Joyce will discuss what feels most useful based on a person's needs, goals and preferences, and adapt her style as things change. The process is collaborative and aims to find practical ways forward that suit each individual.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care when life changes, while allowing the same therapeutic conversations and goal-setting used in face-to-face work.
