   About Adebola

   Adebola Ajayi is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She works with a wide range of concerns including trauma, depression, relationship issues and parenting strain. Adebola uses straightforward talk and practical techniques to help people find clearer ways forward.

   Adebola is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She brings three years of practice to each session and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can speak openly. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and move at a pace that feels comfortable.

   Her approach is integrative and person-centred, which means conversations are shaped around the client rather than a fixed script. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused ideas to identify next steps. Motivational Interviewing is also used to help people find internal motivation for change.

   Adebola also attends to deeper patterns that affect current problems, using psychodynamic ideas to look at past influences when they feel relevant. Practical coaching-style tools are offered for career, money and life-purpose questions. The overall aim is to help people feel more able to cope and to make choices that match their values.

   People who prefer a warm, listening approach and clear, usable strategies may find her style helpful. If you want someone who balances gentle curiosity with practical steps, Adebola may be a good match.

2. How Adebola uses talking therapies online

   Adebola works from a person-centred base that places the client's priorities first. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people find their own answers rather than imposing solutions. It suits people who want a supportive space to think things through.
   
   She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clients explore their reasons for change in a gentle way. That method can be useful for goals such as addressing substance-related behaviour, improving wellbeing, or making career shifts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.
   
   Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will help decide which methods fit best based on the client's goals and preferences, and this is agreed collaboratively as therapy progresses.
   
   Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that work around work and family commitments.
