Bolade Jumbo, BACP

Bolade Jumbo is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 12 years of experience and has spent several years supporting young adults and other people through life changes. Her manner is warm and interactive and she aims to offer non-judgemental, honest care.

She focuses on whatever the client wants to work on, so sessions are led by each person's priorities. Bolade listens closely and uses empathy and encouragement to help people name problems and take small steps toward change. She aims to help clients build self-acceptance and stronger everyday coping skills.

Typical concerns she helps with include stress, anxiety, depression, sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, anger and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting strain, career worries, and identity or LGBT-related matters. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment, communication problems, isolation and feelings of emptiness.

Bolade draws on client-centred work alongside mindfulness approaches and motivational interviewing to keep sessions practical and focused. She encourages people to notice small shifts, practise new ways of relating, and set goals they feel able to reach. The pace is collaborative and guided by each person's needs.

She speaks English and Yoruba and practises in the United Kingdom. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step are used to match clients before arranging sessions.

How Bolade uses person-centred and mindfulness approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and accepting the person as they are. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions, which suits people who want a gentle, collaborative space to talk.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills for difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help reduce rumination and improve sleep, stress and emotion regulation by building short daily habits.

Motivational Interviewing is a practical way of exploring motivation for change. It helps people resolve mixed feelings and move towards goals at a pace they choose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Bolade will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to their needs, goals and preferences. That makes therapy a joint process rather than a set plan.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. A variety of approaches can be used through remote work to focus on coping skills, emotional awareness and practical goal setting.
