About Adeshalewa

Adeshalewa Kolawole is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family matters, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Her approach mixes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centred Therapy. She uses CBT techniques to help people identify trigger points and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred principles guide how she listens and responds during sessions.

She has worked with a wide range of presenting problems, including obsessive-compulsive behaviours, post-traumatic stress, self-harm, postpartum depression and immigration-related stresses. She also supports people facing adoption and foster care issues, commitment worries, multicultural challenges and relationship strains. Her background includes responding to emotional and physical abuse.

In practical terms she helps people notice behaviours and thoughts that keep difficulties going. Together she and the client agree steps to try and then review how those steps worked. This can include learning new coping strategies, practicing different responses and setting small goals between sessions.

Clients can expect straightforward, respectful conversations that focus on problems they bring and on concrete strategies to manage them. To begin, people use the service questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and testing new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, OCD and depression.

Client-Centred work offers space for people to talk through what matters to them while the counsellor listens and reflects. That approach supports building a trusting working relationship and helps decide which practical techniques to try next. The therapist treats choice of method as collaborative and will discuss which approach fits the clients needs and goals.

Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping therapy part of everyday life. Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, since they are not listed here. Registered or accredited professionals often use different formats to suit quieter surroundings, shorter check-ins or longer therapy blocks, and the therapist will work with the client to pick what fits their routine and preferences.
