Bolade Jumbo , BACP

Bolade Jumbo is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings 12 years of helping people work through anxiety, depression and relationship strain. Her manner is warm, direct and non-judgemental. She aims to make starting therapy feel possible for people who are unsure what to expect.

Bolade keeps sessions client-led. She listens for what matters most and helps people set small, achievable steps. Conversations focus on building self-worth, reducing stress and managing difficult feelings like anger, guilt or shame. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, career worries and intimacy-related concerns.

Her practice pays attention to diversity and life experience. Bolade names issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and autism and Asperger syndrome among areas she supports. She also addresses complex topics like infidelity, narcissism and self-harm with sensitivity and practical care.

Bolade uses person-centred work alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing approaches. That means she offers a supportive, reflective space and practical prompts to move forward. Sessions aim to boost self-understanding and everyday coping rather than rely on labels.

She conducts work in English and Yoruba and accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom. Online practice is part of her experience, built up over recent years to meet changing needs. People who want a calm, respectful counsellor may find her style a good fit.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The counsellor follows what the person brings and helps them find their own solutions, which can help with self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy invites simple present-moment attention to thoughts and feelings without judgement. It is useful for reducing anxiety, improving sleep and calming intense emotions.

Motivational Interviewing uses gentle, goal-focused conversation to help people find reasons to change. It is often used for low motivation, behaviour change and building commitment to small steps.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative way of working means plans can change as progress is made.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging make scheduling more flexible. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth, short check-ins work well by messaging, and live chat can fit into busy days. These options help people fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
