About Damian
Damian Okafor is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has around 10 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. Damian helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and grief among other concerns.
He trained at Regent's University London and completed an MSc in Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology. His background includes work in GP surgeries and counselling organisations across the UK. Those roles gave practical experience in short-term and ongoing support settings.
In sessions he uses Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural approaches. He keeps sessions interactive and straightforward, helping people spot patterns and try small changes that can reduce tension and reactivity. He aims to treat each person with respect and without stigmatising labels.
Damian works with a wide range of life issues beyond anger and anxiety. These include addictions, relationship concerns, parenting stresses, issues around identity and multicultural experiences, and difficulties linked to trauma or loss. He also lists focus areas such as attachment, fatherhood, immigration, and compassion fatigue.
He offers therapy in English and Igbo and accepts international clients. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.
How his approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person make sense of their experience. It supports people who need a tolerant, non-judgemental conversational space to talk through anger, loss or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical experiments and skills to reduce reactivity and stress.Finding the right approach is something the therapist does together with the client. He will talk through goals, try a method for a few sessions and adjust things based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match tools to a person's needs, whether they want short-term strategies or deeper review of life patterns.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered professionals and therapists offer online options to help people fit sessions around work, family and everyday life.
