About Adebola

Adebola Ajayi is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. She uses a warm, person-centred style that aims to help people feel heard and understood. Adebola is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Adebola takes a straightforward approach in sessions. She listens first, then helps people notice patterns in their thoughts and feelings. She draws on a mix of approaches so sessions can feel practical and reflective. That can mean setting short-term goals, trying new ways of thinking, or looking at past experiences that still affect day-to-day life.

She has three years' experience working with a range of issues, from work stress and depression to trauma and relationship strain. Adebola also supports people dealing with parenting pressures, grief, anger and life changes. Codependency, attachment difficulties and communication problems are additional areas she pays attention to.

Sessions aim to be collaborative, with the person deciding what to focus on. Adebola may use motivational questions to spot next steps, solution-focused tools to try small changes, or psychodynamic ideas to understand longer-standing patterns. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when thinking styles and behaviours are the main target.

People who want a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about what matters will usually find this approach useful. Prospective clients should check current session options and scheduling details before booking.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Adebola uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and helping people find their own voice. This approach helps when someone needs space to understand feelings and make their own decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is also part of her practice and involves looking at thoughts and behaviours to create small, practical changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives clear strategies to try between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Adebola will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together, and they can change as needs evolve. The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy day, avoiding travel time, or choosing quieter surroundings that suit the person. Online work can make it easier to have short check-ins or regular sessions without rearranging a whole day. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online or in-person options before booking to ensure they fit your routine.
