About Adebola
Adebola Ajayi is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, grief, and career pressures. She also helps with issues around guilt and shame, attachment and codependency.
Adebola uses a person-centred way of working that encourages people to find their own voice. She combines that with cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours. Sessions are conversational and practical, and she aims to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
In practice she draws on psychodynamic ideas to consider how past experiences shape current feelings. Motivational interviewing features when someone wants help making a change but feels unsure how to begin. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, manageable steps that move a person forward.
People often come with complicated emotions linked to family, faith, work or decisions they regret. Adebola will listen and work through what matters to the person in front of her. She explains therapeutic options and helps people decide what to try next.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the online options button.
Online approaches and how they fit into sessions
Adebola combines person-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing. Person-centred work focuses on listening and helping people find their own voice, which suits emotional concerns like guilt and shame. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and is useful for anxiety, low mood and patterns that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing is a conversational method that helps when someone is unsure about change and needs to build their own reasons to try something different.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Adebola will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The plan can change as the work progresses so clients influence what approaches are used and how sessions are structured.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general online work can help fit therapy into a busy life - making it easier to attend from different locations, have shorter check-ins, or avoid travel on a workday. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to make regular sessions simpler to sustain.
