About Litea
Litea Dakunimata is a counsellor and a member of BACP with six years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with relationship tensions, grief, self-esteem problems and major life changes.
She offers a straightforward style in sessions. Conversations aim to identify what feels most difficult and what practical steps might help. Litea uses client-centred ideas so the person's own concerns guide the pace and focus of work.
Her background also draws on existential therapy, which looks at the big questions people face when life feels uncertain. That approach can help when someone is dealing with loss, empty feelings, or decisions about the future.
She regularly supports people coping with trauma and abuse, parenting stresses, anger and career-related strain. Other areas she works with include abandonment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication problems and immigration issues.
Sessions are conversational and aim to be clear and direct. Litea listens for patterns that keep causing pain and helps people try different ways of responding. She also discusses realistic steps to manage low mood, anxiety or relationship conflict.
If someone wants to move forward, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first meeting. The matching process helps set initial goals before the first session.
How Litea uses client-centred and existential ideas online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person brings to the session. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and to work out their own next steps. This approach suits worries about relationships, self-esteem and coping with life changes.Existential Therapy looks at questions about meaning, choice and responsibility. It can be useful for people dealing with grief, emptiness, major life decisions or a sense of being stuck. Sessions explore what matters to the person and what they want from their life going forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Litea will discuss different ways of working and agree a practical plan together. That plan is shaped by the client's needs, goals and preferences, and it can change as work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking as the profile does not specify formats. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a week - for example by avoiding travel or allowing a quicker check-in at a lunch break. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video or who need lower bandwidth options. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer these practical benefits, and Litea will discuss which format best fits each person's circumstances.
