About Adebola
Adebola Ajayi is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation and brings three years of experience helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down by life. Adebola aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear for anyone unsure where to begin.
Adebola listens with a person-focused style that centres the client's experience. She helps people name what is painful, sort through upsetting thoughts, and find practical next steps.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and paced to each person's needs. Her work draws on trauma-focused approaches alongside cognitive behavioural ideas. That means she pays attention to past distress while also looking at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going.
She uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and take small achievable actions. Adebola also brings psychodynamic perspectives to understand recurring relationship patterns and deeper emotional themes. This can help when feelings seem to repeat across jobs or relationships and when old hurt keeps resurfacing.
She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Additional areas include attachment issues, codependency, domestic violence, multicultural concerns, post-traumatic stress and career or money worries. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged across several online formats.
The focus is on practical pacing, honest conversation and helping each person find clearer ways forward.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Adebola commonly draws on trauma-focused therapy, client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past distress affects present feelings and behaviour, and it helps people build safer ways of responding. Client-centred work means the session follows the person's pace and priorities, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help them find their own voice. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and offers practical steps to change them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Adebola will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions around those needs. Together the therapist and client decide whether to focus on past patterns, immediate coping skills or a blend of both.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face to face when they prefer that connection. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in suits a busy day. Text and chat are useful for quick reflections, ongoing coaching-style support or when writing through thoughts feels easier than speaking.
