About Kemi
BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience, specialising in career issues, anxiety, stress, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, addictions, ADHD and related areas. Kemi Folarin combines Client-Centred, Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused approaches to help people talk through immediate problems and understand deeper patterns that affect day-to-day life.
Kemi works in a client-led way. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in the room, at a pace that suits them. He encourages people to notice their strengths and to use those inner resources to cope with change, manage stress and pursue practical goals such as work decisions or managing difficult feelings.
His background includes a degree in Psychology and Sociology, a Masters in Youth and Community, and time as the CEO of a charity serving children, young people and the wider community. He is also the author of The Best H.E.L.P Book. This mix of academic study and community work informs a practical, grounded style.
In sessions he helps clients increase self-awareness and challenge unhelpful beliefs. That might mean talking about childhood experiences that still shape behaviour, or setting short-term steps to reduce anxiety and improve mood. He supports people working through grief, compassion fatigue and workplace issues with straightforward discussion and problem-solving.
Kemi also pays attention to life stages and social pressures that affect women and young adults, and he sees issues such as isolation, seasonal affective disorder and self-love as part of the picture.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the persons perspective and on listening. The therapist follows the clients lead, helping them name what matters and use their own strengths to manage problems. This approach suits people seeking support to process feelings or make decisions.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past relationships and experiences. It helps people see how old habits affect current reactions, which can be useful for ongoing anxiety, relationship struggles or repeated cycles of behaviour.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals. It is useful when someone wants concrete changes quickly, such as reducing stress, improving work routines or managing specific symptoms like low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide whether to emphasise listening and reflection, looking at past patterns, or setting short-term goals. That fit can be adjusted over time according to needs and preferences.
Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or travel and may allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. They also avoid travel time and help people continue therapy if they relocate internationally. Registered or accredited professionals often use these arrangements to match therapy to everyday life.
