Betty Adhokorie

Betty Adhokorie is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Betty uses a straightforward, compassionate style to make it easier to say what is on your mind. With nine years of professional experience and BACP registration, she focuses on building an open space for conversations. Sessions are practical and down to earth. Clients can expect help talking through coping with life changes, anger, communication problems and feelings of isolation or low self-worth. Betty aims to work alongside people rather than direct them. She supports exploration of control issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness and life purpose. For those living with or caring for someone with intellectual disability, she offers understanding around the particular stresses and decisions that can arise. Her approach favours clear goals and small steps. That might mean trying new ways to manage anxiety, rehearsing challenging conversations, or making a plan for recovery from addictive behaviours. Sessions look at what is working now and what could change to make daily life easier. Many clients come because they want more energy for relationships and for themselves. Betty encourages self-compassion and practical strategies for self-love and resilience. She aims to make the process steady and manageable, with attention to both feelings and everyday choices.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Betty draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thinking patterns and present actions. One common approach works with thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood by testing unhelpful beliefs and trying small behavioural changes. This helps people break cycles of avoidance and lift day-to-day functioning.

Another useful method addresses the emotional impact of trauma and loss. It creates space to tell difficult stories, name painful feelings and build new ways of coping with reminders and triggers. This can help when grief or past abuse makes everyday life feel harder.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will explore your needs, goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Over a few sessions you will review what helps and adjust the plan together to fit your progress and priorities.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy into a busy week and keeping appointments when travel is difficult. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, please confirm current session options before booking. The focus is on making sessions realistic for your life, whether that means shorter check-ins, fewer interruptions, or scheduling around work or caring responsibilities.
