   About Adenike

   Adenike Oduwusi brings eight years of hands-on experience in counselling and psychotherapy. She qualified as a psychotherapist in 2018 and has worked across mental health services since 2016. Adenike uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem.

   Her practice focuses on straightforward, person-centred support. She listens closely and helps clients find workable steps forward. Sessions aim to make big problems feel more manageable by breaking them into small, realistic actions.

   Adenike has worked with adults, young adults and people who are bereaved, as well as those coping with depression, work-related issues and life transitions. Her background includes experience with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.

   She draws on several therapeutic styles to match what each person needs. Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy inform her approach when people want help with change and values-based goals. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas shape how she builds trust and explores patterns in relationships.

   Adenike offers sessions in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients. Session times vary to fit different schedules, with morning and evening options often available. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability.

2. How her approaches translate to online therapy

   Adenike uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build commitment to those goals. This approach suits issues like ambivalence about life changes, commitment concerns and starting new routines.
   
   She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and trust, helping people understand how past connections affect current relationships.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Adenike will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
   
   Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit talks into busy days, avoid travel time and use morning or evening slots more easily. Online work also makes it simpler to keep momentum between meetings and to try practical exercises that fit day-to-day life.
