Folashade Dada is a counsellor who draws on person-centred and evidence-informed approaches to help adults and young adults manage worry, low mood, relationship strain and life changes. She uses direct, calm conversations to help people notice what matters most and find practical steps forward.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and act on them, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection and intimacy, while Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) tools support emotional expression in relationships. Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Folashade balances listening with gentle challenge so people can try out new ways of coping.
She pays close attention to everyday problems like sleep, work stress, parenting strain and grief, and helps people make small, realistic changes. With four years of practice, she brings focused experience supporting concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, career decisions, and intimacy-related issues.
Additional areas she addresses include abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and caregiver stress, body image and communication problems. Folashade is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers sessions in English. She meets people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients who prefer online formats.
Approach-driven online counselling you can access from anywhere
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for stress, anxiety and life changes because it focuses on action rather than getting stuck on thoughts.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and teaches practical techniques to change those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleeping difficulties.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and current relationships affect feelings of safety and closeness, helping people improve intimacy and manage relationship tensions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match goals and preferences. Sessions begin with a simple conversation about what someone wants to change, and together they try out approaches and adjust as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and travel while keeping regular contact with a therapist.
