Adebola Ajayi , BACP

Adebola Ajayi is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on women's issues, stress, anxiety and trauma. She uses straightforward language and practical steps to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about their next move. Adebola aims to give clear space for clients to talk through what matters most to them and to find realistic ways forward.

Adebola practices an integrative, person-centred style that starts with listening closely to each person's story. She blends that approach with cognitive behavioural ideas to notice thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing is used when clients want support with change and deciding on next steps.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that repeat in relationships and life choices. Sessions tend to be conversational and reflective, with practical tasks when they help the work. Adebola describes her role as a companion who helps clients uncover their own answers and build small steps toward the life they want.

Adebola holds BACP which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has around three years' experience working with concerns such as depression, grief, parenting pressures, relationship tensions and career questions. This experience includes supporting people dealing with issues like codependency, attachment difficulties and post-traumatic stress.

Sessions are offered in English. People can expect a calm, straightforward approach that balances understanding with clear action where needed.

How Adebola uses therapy approaches online

Adebola often combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and helping the client find their own voice, which can be useful for building confidence and exploring personal values. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts and actions influence mood and behaviour, and it offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. Adebola will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then tailor sessions to what feels most helpful. This collaborative planning can mean mixing conversation, reflective exploration and short practical tasks to suit the individual's needs.

Online therapy offers a flexible way to access this work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that's helpful, while phone sessions reduce bandwidth needs and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, want shorter check-ins or need to work without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones, while still using therapeutic methods to support change.
