About Adebola

Adebola Ajayi is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and midlife questions. She works with people who are coping with trauma, relationship strain, parenting pressures and career uncertainty. Her manner is calm and straightforward, and she aims to make early sessions feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure about therapy.

Adebola draws on a person-centred way of working to help people find their own voice. She combines that with cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practical steps people can try between sessions. Motivational interviewing techniques also appear in her work to support people making changes or deciding next steps.

Her background includes three years of practice with a wide range of issues, including grief, anger, codependency and cultural concerns. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is recorded as BACP.

In sessions she encourages open conversation about feelings, thoughts and everyday challenges. People often work on clearer communication, managing anxiety, or rebuilding direction after a life change.

Adebola accepts clients in the United Kingdom and also works with people internationally in English. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options with the service to match their needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Adebola uses a person-centred approach that helps people speak about what matters to them and find their own direction. This way of working focuses on listening, reflection and following the client's lead, which can fit well into remote conversations where time is gently paced.

She also integrates cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to try between sessions. CBT techniques can be shared and discussed online and used to track small changes over time. Motivational interviewing appears in her work to help clients weigh options and build momentum for change in clear, concrete steps.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that suit each person. Sessions can shift as needs change, mixing reflective listening with practical homework when needed.

Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so readers should confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule.
