Background and approach
Bolanle draws on a range of approaches and adapts them to each person. She often looks at early attachment patterns and how they affect current relationships. She helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and develop more intentional choices in everyday life.
Therapy sessions may be short term to meet a single goal, or longer term for deeper change. Conversations are focused and down to earth, with practical tools to manage anxiety, build confidence and cope with difficult life events. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, caregiver stress and body image concerns.
People come to work on communication problems, codependency, abandonment and commitment issues among other topics. She has experience working with a diverse range of men and women from different cultural and religious backgrounds. Bolanle aims to create a steady pace so clients feel able to make progress at their own speed.
Integrative approaches and online therapy
Integrative counselling combines ideas from different therapy approaches so techniques fit the person. For example, work that looks at attachment helps uncover how early relationships shape current behaviour and problems. This can be useful for relationship issues, abandonment fears and patterns that keep repeating.Another common element is helping people notice and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns. This involves identifying thoughts that fuel anxiety or low self-esteem and testing them against everyday evidence to build more balanced thinking. It is practical and aimed at reducing worry and improving decision making.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and is worked out together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then tailor techniques and pace to the individual. This collaborative process helps people feel involved in planning their progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people see body language and build rapport, while phone sessions are useful if bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, immediate reflections and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, care duties and travel schedules.
