About Fiwasade
Fiwasade Onifade is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self esteem, depression, stress and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with relationship and family concerns and intimacy-related issues.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that people can try between meetings. She talks through coping strategies, ways to manage overwhelming feelings, and ways to rebuild confidence in social settings.
Fiwasade pays attention to past experiences that keep affecting life now, including abandonment, family of origin issues, and dissociation. She also addresses concerns that come after separation, domestic violence, or serious loss. Practical problems like immigration stress, HIV or AIDS related worries, and work-related compassion fatigue are included in her caseload.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviour in everyday situations. Conversations explore what has helped before and what might help now, with gentle experiments to test new ways of coping. The emphasis is on finding what fits each person’s circumstances.
Clients are asked to use a short matching questionnaire to get started and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work online
Fiwasade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage distress and rebuild confidence. One common approach looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going, and helps people test new ways of thinking and acting in social situations. Another focuses on processing past trauma and painful experiences so they have less impact on daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. She will discuss different options with each person and decide together which techniques fit their goals, needs and preferences. This collaborative planning keeps the focus on practical steps that can be tried between appointments.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and removing the need to travel to an appointment. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often offer flexible scheduling to help make sessions easier to attend.
