About Adebola
Adebola Ajayi is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years' experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationships, family concerns and anger. Her practice also covers issues such as self-esteem, grief, parenting pressures and career-related strain.
Adebola uses a person-centred way of working that helps people reconnect with their own voice. She combines that with cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. In sessions she listens, reflects and helps people identify patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour that keep problems going.
Practical steps are part of her work. That can mean trying out different ways of noticing thoughts or testing small changes between sessions. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, manageable goals and motivational interviewing to support shifts in behaviour and decision-making.
Adebola pays attention to how early relationships and attachment can shape current difficulties. She helps people look at communication problems, codependency and feelings of emptiness or shame that often sit under stress or anger. Discussions can move between short-term coping and exploring longer-standing themes, according to what the person wants.
Sessions are conducted in English and she is open to working with clients from different cultural backgrounds. The first meetings focus on establishing what the person wants to change and practical steps to get started.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Adebola blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing. Person-centred work focuses on listening and helping someone find their own voice, useful for exploring feelings behind anger. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thought patterns and teach practical skills to change reactions. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change and support small steps towards different behaviour.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Adebola will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That collaborative conversation shapes whether sessions focus on skills practice, short-term goals or deeper exploration of past patterns.
The biography did not specify session formats, so please confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer sessions with video to use non-verbal cues, while others opt for phone meetings when a quieter setup or lower bandwidth is required. Registered or accredited professionals can help match format and timing to everyday routines.
