About Abolanle
Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba is a qualified counsellor (NCPS) with five years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, stress and problems with sleep and eating. She also helps with parenting concerns, anger, addictions and challenges linked to ADHD and bipolar conditions. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba.
Bola uses emotionally-focused approaches alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioural tools to look at feelings and patterns that keep causing pain. Her style is client-centred and collaborative. She invites people to notice what they feel and how they respond, and to practise new ways of relating to those emotions.
In early meetings she helps clients name the hardest feelings and how those feelings shape behaviour. She pays attention to attachments and relationship patterns that repeat over time. Clear, simple strategies and small experiments between sessions are often part of the work.
She describes therapy as sometimes challenging and sometimes rewarding. Clients are asked to engage actively, because change often depends on what they try outside sessions as well as inside. Over time the aim is to build more confidence in making choices and managing life changes.
Bola notes that costs vary with location and that sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying strong emotions and the patterns they create in relationships and daily life. It helps people put names to feelings that are hard to pin down and then respond to them differently. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them, and to act in line with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to understand why certain reactions keep repeating and to develop more helpful ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Bola will discuss different methods and, in a collaborative way, help decide which fits a person's goals and preferences. Decisions are made with the client's needs and what feels most useful for day-to-day life.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals typically use straightforward exercises, emotion-focused conversations and short between-session tasks that translate well to online settings.
