About Folashade

Folashade Dada is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of experience. She works with adults and young adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, anger, sleep problems, parenting strain and career worries.

Her practice blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with other approaches to help clients recognise and name difficult emotions. Sessions use everyday language and focus on what feels immediate and important to the person. Folashade draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when helpful to address patterns of thinking and behaviour.

She pays attention to attachment themes and to how early experiences shape how people relate now. That perspective is useful for people facing intimacy-related issues, abandonment or adoption and foster care questions. It can also help with communication problems and commitment concerns.

Work in sessions is practical and conversational. Folashade helps people notice emotional responses, try new ways of responding, and practise skills between sessions. She combines client-centred listening with gentle challenge to build new patterns over time.

Folashade sees the practical side of therapy. She will discuss what to focus on each week and offer simple exercises to try at home. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients, with fees that vary by location and a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Folashade applies EFT, ACT and attachment ideas online

Folashade uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name emotions that are difficult to describe, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy-related concerns. EFT focuses on patterns in emotional responses and how those affect connections with others.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support people in noticing unhelpful thoughts, clarifying values, and taking meaningful action despite uncomfortable feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative. Folashade will discuss how these methods might fit your situation and adjust her focus based on your goals and preferences. Together you will decide what to try in sessions and what to practise between meetings.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow quieter or shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often find that these formats help clients maintain continuity of care and try new skills in everyday situations.
