Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba , NCPS

She is a qualified counsellor who offers a nonjudgemental and supportive space to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours that may sit outside conscious awareness. Working collaboratively, she helps people make sense of issues such as bereavement and loss, anxiety and fear, life changes like divorce or redundancy, relationship difficulties, past or present abuse - whether sexual, physical, emotional or financial - as well as challenges with confidence, addictions, depression and eating disorders.

Her approach centres on helping clients gain clarity and perspective so they can build healthier relationships with themselves and others and navigate both internal and external stresses more effectively. Over time, clients are encouraged to develop their own insights, draw on personal strengths and internal resources, and make practical changes that support improved wellbeing.

She practices in a client-centred and collaborative way and adapts different counselling methods to match each person’s needs. She also emphasises the importance of client commitment to therapy, recognising that meaningful change often requires willingness to face difficult material and to work through parts of oneself that may feel uncomfortable. When people willingly engage in that process within the therapeutic space, counselling can deepen self-understanding and bring greater awareness and meaning to life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Support

She integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred principles to support personal growth and emotional resilience. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to improve current connections and address issues like abandonment, trust and intimacy. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy and collaboration, creating a respectful space where clients are supported to find their own solutions and strengthen self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and she works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This process is guided by conversation and mutual agreement so the therapy plan evolves as the work progresses.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - she meets with clients via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while balancing work, family and other commitments.
