Bolade Jumbo is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 12 years of overall experience and offers a warm, interactive style that focuses on respect and non-judgemental care. Sessions are led by the client, with Bolade helping them take small steps toward the changes they want.

She works plainly and compassionately, listening closely to what matters most. Bolade avoids labels and focuses on understanding each person’s experience.

Background and approach

Her way of working aims to build self-acceptance, confidence and practical coping skills. Bolade has a particular interest in stress, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, sleeping difficulties and career-related stress.

Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, trauma and abuse, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Her approach draws on client-centred principles alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. That means sessions often combine careful listening with gentle reflection and short exercises to help people notice patterns and make choices that match their goals.

Bolade offers work in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients. She provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then arranges sessions according to the schedule provided.

Her focus is on practical progress that feels manageable. Bolade aims to help people feel more connected, in control and able to move forward from whatever is holding them back.

How Bolade’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The counsellor offers acceptance and listening so the client can lead the conversation and discover their own solutions. This approach helps when someone feels stuck, low in self-worth or unsure about what they need.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and physical sensations without getting swept away by them. Simple breathing or awareness exercises can ease anxiety, sleeping difficulties and stress in short, practical steps.

Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way of exploring change. It helps people weigh up their options and find internal reasons to move forward, which is useful for motivation, habit change and difficult decisions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Bolade will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, study and family life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
