Adebola Ajayi offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and big life changes. She makes space for everyday worries like work pressure, parenting strain, relationship difficulties and loss. Adebola uses plain language and an easy pace so conversations feel straightforward and useful.

Adebola trained as an integrative counsellor and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings three years' experience to sessions and draws on several approaches to match each person's needs.

Background and approach

That mix helps when one way of working does not fit. In sessions she uses person-centred principles so people can find their own voice and make clearer choices. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and Solution-Focused ideas to set small, practical goals.

Adebola includes psychodynamic thinking when exploring long-standing patterns and motivations. Clients can expect a non-judgemental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings are listened to. Conversations aim to clarify what matters now and what small changes might help.

Adebola also offers coaching-style support for career and life-purpose questions. Practical concerns such as anger, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, codependency and multicultural issues are within her stated focus. She also works with people affected by trauma and post-traumatic stress and helps those dealing with divorce, money problems and midlife transitions.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Adebola encourages an open first conversation to discuss goals and how to work together.

How Adebola’s approaches work online

Adebola commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person’s perspective and build a trusting conversation. This approach focuses on listening, reflection and helping people discover their own answers, which suits worries about self-esteem, isolation and life purpose.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical coping steps. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress and low mood because it breaks down problems into manageable parts and sets achievable tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adebola discusses goals and preferences and then adapts methods so they fit the person’s situation. This is a collaborative decision made together rather than a fixed plan from the start.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for a face-to-face feel, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins and shorter reflections. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, and make it easier to attend from different locations.
