About Adebola

Adebola Ajayi is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, career and life changes, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Adebola also helps people dealing with grief, parenting pressures, anger, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Adebola uses a person-centred way of working to help clients speak about what matters to them. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused techniques. Sessions are conversational and aim to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and reflect on what they want next.

Her practice includes attention to attachment, codependency, communication problems, and post-traumatic stress. She also addresses practical concerns such as money and work stress, multicultural issues, and the effects of separation or domestic violence. The focus is on clear, practical steps as well as making sense of difficult feelings.

Adebola encourages straightforward talk about goals and short-term plans as well as longer personal themes. Expect a mix of exploring feelings, spotting unhelpful thinking, and setting achievable actions between sessions. She works in English and accepts international clients.

To begin, people are usually asked some simple questions to match them to a therapist and to arrange a first session. The booking process uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches you might use in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping a person find their own voice. It suits people who want space to talk through feelings and to work out what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to try different ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs, and adjust the plan if something isn’t working. This keeps the work collaborative and focused on practical progress.

The original biography did not specify particular session formats here, so please confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, and make it simpler to keep appointments when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals will explain how they organise session length, frequency and any between-session tasks to suit everyday life.
