About Kemi
Kemi Folarin is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. He works with practical life problems such as stress, anxiety, anger and relationship strain. People come to him for help with career shifts, grief, addictions and parenting concerns. Sessions are guided by what each person brings and paced to fit their needs.
Kemi uses an integrative stance that draws mainly on client-centred and psychodynamic ideas. That means he listens for what matters most to the client and also pays attention to patterns that run beneath current difficulties. He encourages people to notice their own resources and to test small changes between sessions.
In the room he aims to make it straightforward to talk through internal conflict and everyday frustration. He describes his role as a guide who helps people develop more self-awareness and clearer goals. Conversations focus on what someone wants to change, and how to get there step by step.
Before counselling Kemi worked as a charity CEO supporting children, young people and communities from 2007. He holds a degree in Psychology and Sociology and a Masters in Youth and Community. He is also the author of The Best H.E.L.P Book which outlines practical approaches he values.
Kemi often helps people identify unhelpful beliefs and replace them with more useful alternatives. He encourages honest reflection and small behaviour shifts that reduce recurring anger, low mood or workplace stress. New clients follow a short matching process to book a first session.
How his approaches translate to online counselling
Kemi blends client-centred listening with psychodynamic reflection and solution-focused practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities, useful for anger that comes from feeling misunderstood or unheard. Psychodynamic work looks at patterns and past experiences that influence current reactions, which can help uncover why anger repeats. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and small experiments to change how someone behaves day to day.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to agree what to try first, review progress, and adjust techniques according to needs and goals. This makes sessions a team effort rather than a fixed plan.
The site biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose quieter times or avoid being on camera if they prefer. Registered or accredited professionals use these ways of working to help clients carry changes into everyday life.
