About Abolanle

Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba is a counsellor (NCPS) practising in the United Kingdom with five years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, parenting stress, grief, trauma and a range of other concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba.

Bola uses a client-centred, collaborative approach. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to match practical techniques to each person's needs. In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful thinking and practice different ways of responding.

Her work addresses both immediate difficulties and longer-standing patterns. She helps people with anger, low self-esteem, problems with intimacy, addiction, sleeping and eating concerns, and the effects of abuse. She also supports those coping with life changes such as divorce, redundancy or immigration-related stress.

Bola emphasises the client's role in therapy and works collaboratively to set goals. She explains that therapy can feel challenging at times, especially when it touches on avoided feelings. Facing those moments is part of the process she offers.

Practical tools and insight sit alongside emotional exploration in her sessions. Over time clients work to build clearer thinking, better coping strategies and more reliable ways of managing emotions and relationships. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and book an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Abolanle (Bola) uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred methods to guide her work. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and taking actions that reflect personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for intimacy and relationship difficulties. Client-Centred work emphasises listening and the client's own pace, providing direct emotional support and reflective space.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to identify the approaches that match their goals and preferences. That means checking how practical techniques, emotional exploration or relational focus fit the presenting issues and adjusting the plan over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or offering a way to attend when physical mobility or location would otherwise be a barrier. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises, homework and skills practice to the online setting so therapy remains practical and focused.
