Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba offers calm, practical support for people facing strong emotions and difficult life changes. She meets clients where they are and helps them talk through concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress and problems with self-esteem. Sessions are delivered in English and Yoruba, and she practises from the United Kingdom.

Bola uses a client-centred way of working. That means she listens first and helps clients set the pace and goals.

Background and approach

She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas to tailor sessions to each person. Her work covers a wide range of issues. Common topics include parenting challenges, anger, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, career worries and compassion fatigue.

She also focuses on abandonment, attachment concerns, communication and trust issues, and the fallout from separation or infidelity. Bola aims to help people gain clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses. Practical skills, gentle reflection and collaborative planning are used so clients can test new ways of coping between sessions.

Progress is paced to the individual and depends on their priorities and commitment. Over a course of sessions, clients can expect to build awareness of unhelpful patterns and find ways to use their strengths more often. The process can feel challenging at times, but Bola supports people through those moments so they can make lasting changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Abolanle blends a few evidence-based approaches to shape online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and helps people act in line with what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current trust and intimacy, helping people develop safer ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person’s situation. That way the work remains flexible and collaborative rather than fixed to a single model.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and work more deeply, while phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier when movement or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflections and people who prefer writing over speaking. These options help clients keep continuity and try different formats as needs change.
