Adeshalewa KolawoleBACP

Adeshalewa Kolawole is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to help people understand what triggers them and find better ways to cope. Her manner is warm and respectful, and she aims to work alongside clients so they feel more in control of their emotions.

Clients come for help with stress, anxiety and low mood, and for issues linked to trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with obsessions and compulsions, postpartum depression, self-harm and challenges linked to adoption, immigration and multicultural concerns. Adeshalewa listens carefully and treats each person as an individual.

Her usual way of working blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred techniques. Sessions focus on practical strategies and clearer thinking, while also making space to talk about painful events and difficult feelings. She helps people spot unhelpful patterns and build small, steady changes.

Adeshalewa aims to help clients tap into their strengths and feel more empowered in day-to-day life. She uses a straightforward, non-judgemental style and collaborates with people to set goals that matter to them. The approach is adaptable, responding to each person’s needs and pace.

People from outside the UK may be able to work with her; confirm international arrangements before booking. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the scheduling process.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, OCD and depression. Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and supported.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adapt them as needed, so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact formats offered before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier - it can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, and be more convenient when arranging appointments across time zones. Many people find that therapy tools and exercises transfer well to remote sessions, and the therapist will help decide how to use techniques in day-to-day routines.
