Adenike Oduwusi , BACP, NCPS

Adenike Oduwusi brings a calm, evidence-informed approach to psychotherapy and has worked with clients since beginning training in 2016. She qualified as a psychotherapist in 2018 and has focused her practice on applying research-backed methods to everyday clinical work within mental health services. Adenike supports young adults, adults and bereaved people, and she has particular experience with anxiety, depression and work-related difficulties, using integrative psychological techniques to help people navigate challenging emotions and life transitions.

A reflective practitioner, Adenike listens carefully for what is said and for what remains unspoken, and she adapts her work to each person because she recognises that no two clients are the same. Her expertise has been shaped by direct clinical exposure to real-life issues, while her compassionate stance comes from a personal commitment to empathetic, evidence-based care. Adenike holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate recognised professional training and qualifications in counselling and psychotherapy.

She offers flexible scheduling, including morning and evening appointments, and generally responds to clients at least once each morning and once each evening depending on caseload. Live sessions can be booked in advance. Her practice accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally, and she provides therapy in English and Yoruba. Online and remote sessions are available, but her services are not intended for people in crisis or in immediate need of emergency support - in such situations callers should contact 999 or local emergency services.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Adenike uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to help people work through emotional and relational difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then to take meaningful action guided by personal values - this can be helpful for anxiety, depression and challenges around life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of relating that developed in earlier connections and explores how these affect current relationships and intimacy. It can be useful for work on commitment issues, abandonment, relationship conflicts and grief. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgemental space in which clients are supported to find their own solutions and build self-understanding, which often helps with self-esteem, coping and emotional resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Adenike works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. She will tailor the work as trust develops and priorities become clearer.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility constraints and allow people to access licensed professionals from different locations while maintaining continuity of care.
