About Adebola
Adebola Ajayi is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and relationship difficulties. Adebola also supports concerns around self-esteem, grief, career and parenting challenges.
Adebola uses a person-centred way of working that helps people speak about what matters to them. She combines that approach with cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic perspectives to look at patterns of thinking and feeling. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding how past experiences shape present reactions.
In early meetings she listens to what the person wants to change and what feels most urgent. She then offers simple strategies for anxiety and ways to test new behaviours between appointments. The work can include short-term goal-focused work or deeper reflective sessions over time.
Adebola has helped people with relationship breakdown, codependency and communication problems, and with the emotional aftermath of trauma and domestic violence. She also supports clients tackling loneliness, questions about life purpose and midlife transitions.
Sessions are conducted in English and she works with people from different cultural backgrounds. Before booking, clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to see how the approach fits their needs.
Approaches online and how they help
Adebola draws on client-centred practice and cognitive behavioural therapy when working online. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people find their own voice, which can be useful for talking through social worries, relationship concerns and feelings of isolation. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers practical exercises to try between sessions, such as testing social assumptions or practicing new responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adebola will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest whether a more practical CBT-style plan or a reflective client-centred focus feels best. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed prescription.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find being at home lowers the stress of travelling to an appointment, while others prefer a brief phone session when bandwidth is limited or a quick video check-in during a work break. Registered or accredited professionals can help match a format to practical needs and goals.
