About Ronke

Ronke Adeyemi is a counsellor with a Master of Arts in Counselling and Psychotherapy and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) credential. She has eight years of experience working in hospices, domestic abuse charities and private practice. Her work covers stress, anxiety, relationship and trauma-related concerns among other issues.

She has a post-qualification diploma in couple’s counselling and has supported people facing separation and divorce. Ronke also works with grief, self-esteem issues, parenting strains and compassion fatigue. She has experience with neurodivergent clients and carries out ADI-R assessments for people undergoing neurological evaluation.

Ronke combines several approaches in her practice, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. In sessions she focuses on feelings, patterns in relationships and practical ways to cope day to day. Her aim is to help people notice what gets in the way and try different responses.

She pays attention to cultural and spiritual concerns and to identity questions that can affect wellbeing. She has worked with people affected by domestic abuse and with those facing serious illness or caregiving strain. She also supports people with intimacy and sexuality matters, including kink and alternative sex culture topics.

Ronke offers sessions in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and sessions use a cancellable subscription arrangement. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Ronke uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and name difficult emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. EFT is often used when attachment needs and recurring interaction cycles are part of the problem. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and build willingness to act despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings, which can suit work on anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-based work focuses on early relationship patterns and how they shape current bonds and intimacy difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ronke will discuss which methods fit the issues, goals and personal preferences of each person. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals offering online therapy often adapt exercises and conversations so they work well without meeting in person.
