Adebola Ajayi

Adebola Ajayi is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Adebola listens without judgement and focuses on practical steps a person can use between sessions.

She uses a person-centred way of working that aims to help people reconnect with their own priorities and values. Alongside that, she draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. Sessions are described in simple language and focus on small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.

Adebola also uses psychodynamic thinking to notice patterns that might have formed over time. This helps people understand why they react in certain ways and gives options for doing things differently. Motivational interviewing elements are used when someone wants clearer direction towards change or goals.

Her caseload has included trauma, workplace problems, grief and parenting concerns, and she lists divorce and separation among her focus areas. Adebola aims to support people dealing with life transitions and difficult emotions, including guilt, shame and loneliness.

With three years' experience, she combines warmth and straightforward feedback. People who choose her can expect a conversational style that balances listening with practical ideas and gentle challenge.

Approaches and how online therapy can help

Adebola uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of sessions, helping them find their own answers and priorities. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk through difficult feelings.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, actions and moods and helps people try small behaviour changes to break unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and practical day-to-day problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adebola will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then recommend ways of working together. The plan is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting appointments around work and family life and saving travel time so sessions are easier to keep. Online options can make it simpler to check in more often or to use shorter sessions when that suits a busy schedule.
