Background and approach

Other areas she attends to include trauma and abuse, intimacy issues and LGBT-related concerns. Bolade uses a client-led way of working. People decide what to focus on and she listens carefully to what matters most.

Sessions are interactive and collaborative, with an emphasis on building self-acceptance and resilience. Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create acceptance and empathy in sessions. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage overwhelming feelings, and Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation feels low.

Bolade has three years of online counselling experience developed during the pandemic and continues to offer remote sessions. She speaks English and Yoruba and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How her approaches work online and in sessions

Bolade draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make space for the person in front of her. That means sessions start with active listening and acceptance so people can say what matters without being judged. This approach helps when someone needs to explore identity, relationship worries or low self-esteem.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without becoming overwhelmed. Simple breathing and grounding exercises are taught and practised in session to manage anxiety and stress. Motivational Interviewing is used where change feels hard - the therapist helps people clarify what they want and find their own reasons to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Bolade treats it as a collaborative decision. She will talk through options at the start, check what feels useful, and adapt methods to a person’s goals and preferences. Clients are invited to steer the focus so work stays relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy with Bolade can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use body language and face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options aim to give flexibility, make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, and support ongoing work from different locations.
