About Folashade

Folashade Dada is a counsellor who uses a mix of approaches to help adults and young adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain and low self-esteem. She presents a calm, encouraging presence and helps people notice strengths they can build on. Her work often focuses on practical steps clients can try between sessions.

She describes therapy as a journey of self-discovery where small changes add up. Sessions combine empathic listening with gentle challenge to help people test new ways of thinking and behaving. That may include looking at thoughts and patterns, examining attachment and relationship dynamics, and trying values-based actions.

Folashade adapts her approach to each person rather than following a single method. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas, plus client-centred principles. This blend helps when dealing with stress, grief, codependency and parenting pressures.

Her experience includes helping people manage life transitions, career stress and health-related difficulties. She also works with issues like abandonment, body image concerns and chronic illness. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer choices and simple strategies to use day to day.

Folashade is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and provides therapy in English. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and struggles with meaning. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help with intimacy and trust issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and building a strong therapeutic relationship to help people feel heard and understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process shapes which techniques are used and how sessions proceed.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and continue work during life transitions. It also allows for shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when less bandwidth or a quieter environment is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions.
