About Adebola

Adebola Ajayi is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem and relationship and family concerns. She also helps with career issues, grief, parenting and anger, and offers coaching for life changes.

Adebola works from a person-centred perspective that helps people locate their own voice. She combines that with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic ideas to look at thoughts, patterns and past experiences. Sessions are conversational and aim to make practical sense of what is happening now.

In practice she uses solution-focused work to set clear goals and uses motivational interviewing techniques when people want to make changes in their life or at work. Trauma-related issues are approached carefully, with attention to how difficult memories affect day-to-day functioning. The mix of methods is used to suit each person's concerns rather than following a single script.

Adebola has experience supporting people with attachment difficulties, codependency and communication problems. She also works with separation issues, domestic violence impacts, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Financial worries, life purpose questions and midlife transitions are within her stated focus.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary with location and are managed via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, then schedule a first session.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Adebola commonly combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own perspective, which can help with self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioural work looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies for anxiety, stress and low mood.

She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want to make changes, such as career moves or shifting habits. That approach is collaborative and helps clarify a person's reasons for change rather than imposing solutions. Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the collaborative work in the first few sessions; the therapist and client agree the priorities and methods together.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific formats are not listed in her biography. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals generally adapt the pace and tools used online to fit each person's goals and everyday routine.
