About Abolanle

Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba helps people work through parenting strain, relationship trouble, mood difficulties and life changes by using practical talking therapy. She uses client-centred work alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Bola is registered with NCPS and has five years' experience in counselling practice.

Bola focuses on everyday problems that affect how people think and act. She talks through issues like anxiety, stress, grief, addiction, sleeping and eating difficulties, and problems with self-esteem. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns and practical relationship matters such as communication and separation.

Sessions use a collaborative style. The counsellor listens to what matters to the person and then draws on several approaches to suit those aims. That might mean looking at thoughts and behaviours with CBT, exploring attachment patterns, or working on values and action with ACT. The emphasis is on the person's commitment to change and on building practical skills.

Bola describes the work as sometimes challenging and sometimes clarifying. She supports people to notice less conscious patterns of thinking and behaving, and to develop ways to manage emotions and relationships. Over time clients often gain clearer perspective and more confidence in their own strengths.

She offers sessions in English and Yoruba and practises from the United Kingdom. Sessions are arranged through an online matching and scheduling process, and fees vary by location using a cancellable subscription model.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Abolanle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people identify personal values and take small steps towards them, often useful for low mood, anxiety and life transitions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviours, which can help with anxiety, stress and sleep problems.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process and can change over time depending on how things are going.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please check the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to work with a registered NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom while keeping therapy practical and focused on everyday problems.
