About Adeshalewa

Adeshalewa Kolawole is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She uses practical talking methods to help people understand their emotions and find better ways to cope. Her work is direct and respectful, aimed at building on each person's strengths.

She supports people struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and depression. She also helps those affected by trauma and abuse, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and the challenges that come after childbirth.

Background and approach

Adoption, foster care, immigration and multicultural concerns are also within her focus. Her approach combines cognitive behavioural techniques with a client-centred stance. That means sessions involve looking at unhelpful patterns, trying small changes, and using the client's own values and strengths to guide progress.

Conversations are practical and paced to what the person feels ready for. She has worked with people facing relationship strain, work pressures, bereavement and self-harm. Wherever the starting point, she aims to create clear steps clients can try between sessions.

The emphasis is on usable tools rather than jargon. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual's needs. Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space where they set the goals and the work follows.

Adeshalewa aims to help people feel more in control of their emotions and their next steps.

How these approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and for living with difficult memories. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience and offering empathy and respect so they can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change them.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will work alongside the client to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. That might mean trying behavioural experiments from CBT one week and using ACT-style values work the next. The plan adapts as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls support face-to-face style conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option if a quieter connection or less bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people keep up therapeutic work across day-to-day life.
