Adebola Ajayi , BACP

Adebola Ajayi is an integrative therapist and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. With three years of clinical practice, she has supported people through a range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression and work-related issues, and she brings an integrative approach that adapts to each person’s needs.

Adebola draws on client-centered methods to help individuals find their own voice and make sense of internal experience, alongside cognitive behavioral techniques that address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also incorporates psychodynamic ideas and other therapeutic tools to explore deeper relational themes and past influences that affect present difficulties. This blended way of working allows her to tailor sessions to issues such as stress, self-esteem, relationship and family problems, grief, parenting challenges, and coping with major life changes.

Adebola offers a non-judgemental space where people are encouraged to explore feelings, build practical skills, and clarify goals. Her practice is oriented toward collaboration and practical support, helping clients move toward clearer decision making, improved coping, and healthier relationships.

Approaches and Accessibility for Online Support

Adebola integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening and supporting clients to discover their own solutions - it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression and stress management. Adebola also uses motivational interviewing techniques to help clients clarify goals and find the internal motivation to make changes, which can be especially useful for decision making and addressing ambivalence about next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Adebola works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions over time so the approach evolves with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access support from home, work, or while traveling. This makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
