Bolanle Babatunde , BACP

Bolanle Babatunde is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with individuals dealing with low self-esteem, depression, grief, addiction and major life changes. Bolanle writes simply and listens closely to understand what matters most to each person.

She trained with a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Bolanle draws on several evidence-based methods and adapts them to fit each person's needs rather than using a single fixed model.

In sessions she helps people identify how early attachment experiences shape present relationships and patterns. She also works on unhelpful thinking, emotional regulation and clearer decision making. This practical focus aims to help people make more intentional choices about their lives.

Bolanle has seven years' experience supporting people with trauma, abuse, family problems and chronic health concerns as well as career and parenting stress. She has worked with people from a range of ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds and aims to create a calm, respectful space for each person.

Her style suits people who want a blend of short-term, goal-focused work and deeper, longer-term exploration. Sessions are shaped around what each person wants to change and the pace that feels right for them.

Integrative approaches and online access

Her integrative approach brings together useful, evidence-based techniques so therapy can be shaped to your needs. One common element is exploring attachment patterns to see how early relationships influence current behaviour and intimacy. That helps when problems relate to trust, abandonment or communication issues.

She also uses cognitive-style techniques to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking. This practical work can reduce anxiety, lift low mood and support clearer decision making in day-to-day life. Another strand is trauma-informed care which focuses on stabilising emotions and building coping skills for people recovering from abuse or loss.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals and priorities, then suggest methods to try and check in on how they feel for you. Together you can adapt pace and focus as progress or new needs emerge.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual connection, phone can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments while keeping continuity of care.
