About Kemi
Kemi Folarin is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. He focuses on issues many young adults face, such as career uncertainty, anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, and feeling isolated. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction, ADHD and workplace pressures.
Kemi works in an integrative way, drawing mainly on Client-Centred and Psychodynamic ideas while also using Solution-Focused techniques. He keeps sessions client-led and paced to what each person needs. In practice that means he listens, helps people name what matters, and works with them to build clearer next steps.
He has a background leading a charity that worked with children, young people and communities since 2007. He also holds a degree in Psychology and Sociology and a Masters in Youth and Community. He is the author of The Best H.E.L.P Book, which shares practical examples of learned practice.
In sessions Kemi helps clients increase self-awareness and identify small, practical changes they can make. He supports people who want to handle life transitions, move past stuck patterns, or manage overwhelming feelings. Conversations often cover beliefs, relationships, and coping strategies.
Kemi encourages honest discussion without judgement and aims to help people find their own voice. He works collaboratively to notice what is working, try different approaches, and adjust plans as needed.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client lead the session. Online sessions can let that process continue with the person setting the pace and topics. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past patterns and relationships affect current feelings. In an online conversation this can be explored through discussion of recurring reactions and early influences. Solution-Focused Therapy targets small, practical changes and clear goals. It is useful when you want concrete steps to try between sessions and measure progress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kemi will collaborate with clients to decide which combination of ideas fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. That means checking in regularly and adapting methods as progress or new issues appear.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life - for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around study or work breaks, or letting someone join without being on camera if that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to help people manage anxiety, life changes and career questions while keeping therapy practical and focused.
