About Ronke

Ronke Adeyemi is a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years of clinical experience. She holds a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a post-qualification diploma in Couple’s Counselling. Her work covers stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also lists family, intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career concerns and coping with life changes among her areas of focus.

Ronke has worked in hospices, domestic abuse charities and private practice. That mix of settings means she has experience with end-of-life care, loss, abuse recovery and the practical demands of shorter-term and longer-term therapy. She also carries out ADI-R assessments and offers therapeutic counselling for neurodivergent people.

Her approach draws on a few different therapies so sessions can be practical and focused. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred work. In practice this means talking through what matters, looking at patterns, and trying small changes between sessions.

She has particular interest in identity and cultural issues, adoption and foster care, abandonment, and sexual culture matters such as BDSM and kink. Ronke also supports people facing caregiver stress, cancer, codependency, communication and commitment problems.

Sessions are conducted in English and Yoruba. She works with individuals and with couples, and she accepts international clients. Before booking, people should check current session formats and scheduling details to confirm what is offered.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Ronke often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and career doubts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can be helpful for intimacy, relationship and abandonment issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, using reflective listening and room to make sense of feelings and decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things progress, keeping the process collaborative rather than fixed.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time, which can make regular appointments easier to sustain. If you are outside the United Kingdom, confirm international arrangements before booking. Also check which session formats are currently offered rather than assuming a specific option. This helps make sure sessions match your daily routine and communication needs.
