Background and approach

She has seven years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which means she meets the standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her background includes supporting people through relationship strain, intimacy-related issues and compassion fatigue.

In addition to those concerns she often helps people with abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, separation and divorce, domestic violence, family of origin issues, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also has experience addressing immigration issues, HIV / AIDS related concerns, and isolation or loneliness. Fiwasade offers sessions that let people fit counselling into busy lives.

Her approach is collaborative and practical, helping clients find small, manageable ways to cope and rebuild confidence. She aims to help people feel heard and more able to move forward.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Fiwasade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on real problems and practical coping. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving; this can be useful for anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Another approach concentrates on processing past hurt and trauma through careful, paced discussion and grounding exercises to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Fiwasade will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods best match their goals and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions as needs change over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to use video or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in with shorter updates or schedule brief support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
