About Joyce
Joyce Akpogheneta is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on 11 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and anger. Joyce focuses on simple, steady steps people can use right away.
She works with people who are facing grief, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Parenting and relationship difficulties are also common reasons people reach out. Joyce pays attention to cultural background, prejudice and identity issues when they affect wellbeing.
Background and approach
Her approach respects that each person knows their own story. Joyce uses attachment-informed ideas and client-centred ways of working to build understanding. She also includes motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set clear goals and practical steps.
In sessions she listens for patterns from the past that still shape daily life. That helps people notice unhelpful habits and try different responses. The aim is to find manageable changes rather than overwhelming solutions.
People can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to connect. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Joyce accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Joyce treats it as a collaboration. She will check goals, preferences and practical needs and suggest ways of working that fit. Over time she adapts methods so sessions stay relevant to progress and life changes.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow brief updates or ongoing support without being on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit sessions around work, family and daily life.
