About Tolulope

Tolulope Elizabeth Fakunle is a HCPC-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, and she lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas. She also supports those dealing with depression, trauma, addiction and difficulties around intimacy.

Her approach starts from the idea that each person knows their own story. She listens for strengths and practical resources a person already has. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to what feels manageable day to day.

Tolulope draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people with values and behavioural change. Emotionally-Focused tools are used when relationships and attachment are central to the problem.

People who find meeting others or speaking up difficult may find the pace useful here. Tolulope works to make steps feel achievable rather than overwhelming. She offers support for related areas such as self-esteem, body image and coping with life changes.

Sessions are conducted in English and Yoruba. Practical matters such as cost use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help

Clients can expect work drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions in line with those values, which can help when social fears hold someone back. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxious thoughts and avoidant habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss different methods together and agree on what fits the client’s goals and preferences. That means changes to the plan can be made as the work progresses so the focus stays useful and manageable.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practise skills in everyday settings and to bring real-life situations into conversation with the counsellor.
