Background and approach
Together they build simple strategies to manage symptoms and reduce overwhelm. Her work has included supporting people affected by trauma, self-harm and depression, and those coping with family challenges. She also addresses issues connected to adoption and foster care, immigration and multicultural concerns.
Adeshalewa pays attention to what matters most to each person and adapts her style accordingly. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual. Adeshalewa encourages clients to notice small strengths and apply them to daily life.
She aims to equip people with tools they can use between meetings to feel more in control. People who choose her tend to want clear steps and a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk. She supports young adults and others navigating commitment worries, postpartum depression, obsessive thoughts, and the strain of life transitions.
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify what matters to them and act in line with those values. It helps when anxiety or low mood make it hard to move forward. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building trust so people feel heard and understood during sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and works on practical steps to change them and ease symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree a way forward. This collaborative process means methods can shift as needs change and progress is reviewed together.
Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for a fuller conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, study and family commitments.
