Adeshalewa Kolawole is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registered counsellor with ten years of experience. She draws on practical talking therapies to help people make sense of difficult emotions and painful events. She writes and listens with warmth and clear direction.

Her approach aims to help people feel steadier day to day. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and trauma or abuse. She also offers help for issues linked to adoption and foster care, immigration and multicultural challenges.

Background and approach

Other areas she supports include obsessive thinking, postpartum depression, self-harm and problems that often come up in young adulthood. In sessions she uses cognitive behavioural techniques alongside client-centred ideas and acceptance-based work. That means she helps people spot unhelpful thinking, try small behavioural changes, and build a clearer sense of values and purpose.

Conversations are practical and grounded in everyday life rather than abstract theory. She aims for a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can name what is hard and try out new ways of coping. The therapist and client work together to agree small steps and a plan that fits the person’s situation.

Progress is measured in things the client notices, like calmer thinking or better sleep. Adeshalewa accepts clients across the United Kingdom and also works with international clients. Sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, so people can choose what suits their routine.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and reconnect with what matters. It suits worries, low mood and situations where values and motivation feel unclear.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and gradually find their own solutions for issues such as relationship strain or grief.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and encourages practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and obsessive thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day needs and then try methods together. That collaborative process means strategies are adjusted if something does not suit the person’s life or learning style.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual connection, phone is easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or family commitments and to continue work when circumstances change.
