About Adeshalewa
Adeshalewa Kolawole is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, low mood and self-esteem concerns, and has a focused interest in young adult issues. Her background includes supporting people affected by trauma, abuse, obsessive thinking, and postpartum depression.
She uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside client-centred work to help people notice what triggers difficult feelings. Sessions are practical and conversational. She helps people learn new ways of responding to thoughts and urges and to build small habits that reduce distress.
Adeshalewa has substantial experience supporting people who have lived with emotional or physical abuse and with self-harm and suicidal thinking. She also brings experience with adoption and foster care issues, immigration and multicultural concerns, and commitment worries that often appear in early adult life.
Her approach is straightforward. She listens, reflects, and works with the person to plan steps they can try between sessions. Therapy may include looking at thought patterns, practising new behaviours, and developing personal coping strategies tailored to the person’s life.
People booking a first session can expect a respectful and calm conversation that identifies immediate priorities. From there Adeshalewa and the client set goals and review progress over time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when someone feels stuck, anxious or uncertain about life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises listening and the person’s own perspective, creating space to talk things through and build confidence.Finding the best approach is something to agree together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs and then try methods that feel most helpful. That collaboration helps shape each session so it fits what the person is working on right now.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit counselling into study, work and busy schedules. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins if needed, and make it simpler to continue when life events interrupt routines. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and conversational techniques to an online setting so progress remains practical and focused.
