Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba, NCPS

Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to begin. She aims to make the first steps simple and practical. Sessions focus on understanding what is causing strain and finding useful ways to move forward.

Bola works in a collaborative, client-centred way. She listens without judgement and helps people notice patterns in their thinking, feelings and behaviour. Together they set small, achievable goals that fit everyday life.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy offer tools for managing mood, anxiety and unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy supports understanding of relationship patterns and how early bonds still affect current life.

Over five years she has helped people with many concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, addiction and stress. She also supports work around parenting, anger, intimacy, sleeping and eating problems, and career transitions. Additional focuses include abandonment, communication problems, immigration issues and forgiveness.

Bola holds NCPS as a credential, which she uses to guide her practice in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba. The counselling style emphasises clients taking an active part in change while the therapist offers steady support and practical techniques.

To begin, clients choose a Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Abolanle uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide much of her work. CBT focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which helps with anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, which can be useful for relationship issues and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new issues arise.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and making it easier to have regular check-ins. Others appreciate shorter or phone-based check-ins when they need a brief update. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques like behavioural experiments, skills coaching and attachment work to suit remote sessions, and the focus remains on practical strategies that can be used between meetings.
