About Adebola
Adebola Ajayi helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and relationship and family concerns using a person-centred way of working. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience.
Adebola works in a conversational style that puts the person’s experience first. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. She draws on client-centred practice to encourage people to find their own voice and make choices that fit their life.
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress. That can involve trying different ways of responding and tracking steps that feel manageable between sessions.
Psychodynamic ideas are part of her work when it helps to consider past relationships and unconscious patterns. Solution-focused strategies are used to identify small, practical changes and next steps when clients want focused, goal-orientated support.
Adebola has experience helping people with parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, grief, anger, career questions and midlife concerns. She also supports people dealing with attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, financial stress and multicultural issues.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. People who want to begin are invited to use the platform’s matching questionnaire to book an initial appointment and discuss the best way forward.
How Adebola uses different approaches in online sessions
Her client-centred approach focuses on the person’s own experience and aims to help them find their own voice and direction. This is useful for people who want exploratory talking therapy and greater clarity about their feelings and choices.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in her work looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is practical and helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns by testing new ways of thinking and behaving.
Motivational interviewing is used to support change when someone feels stuck or unsure about goals. It helps people weigh options and strengthen their own reasons for change in a respectful way.
She treats the choice of approach as collaborative. In early sessions she will discuss what seems most helpful and adapt the methods to the client’s goals and preferences. That means approaches can be mixed across sessions to suit what is working.
If you want online sessions, check the current session formats before you book since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a packed week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time, which can help people sustain regular appointments.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
