About Abolanle
Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba offers straightforward, person-focused counselling. She aims to help people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward. Sessions are collaborative and based on what each person needs in the moment. Bola works in English and Yoruba and draws on five years of experience to guide practical change.
Bola uses a client-centred approach to listen without judgment and to help people make sense of painful feelings. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when someone feels ambivalent about next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping.
People come to Bola for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship pain, parenting strain, stress, sleep and eating difficulties, addictions, bipolar mood challenges, and trauma. She also helps with attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, and the aftermath of separation or infidelity.
In sessions she focuses on building practical skills and clearer thinking. She encourages small, steady steps and checks in about what’s working. Expect a collaborative tone that respects each person’s pace and choices.
Bola is registered with NCPS, which appears as NCPS in her credentials. She practices in the United Kingdom and offers counselling in English and Yoruba. The start of therapy begins by answering a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions to suit both schedules.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling
Many of Bola's methods are well suited to remote work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them and helps with anxiety, depression and major life changes. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational, non-judgemental way to explore mixed feelings about change and to build commitment to next steps. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, using empathic listening to help people feel heard and understood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Bola will discuss goals and preferences and will help decide which methods fit best. This is a collaborative process that may shift as the work develops.
Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or offering options that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and tools to remote sessions so the work stays practical and relevant to everyday life. -
