About me

As a qualified counsellor, I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment where I can help you gain insight into the less conscious aspects of your thinking, behaviour and feelings.There are many reasons why people come for counselling. Together we can explore and address concerns surrounding many different issues, ranging from; Bereavement and loss., Anxiety/fear.· Change: divorce, redundancy and many others.· Relationship issues.· Abuse: past or present, sexual, physical, mental or financial.· Confidence and self esteem.· Addictions.· Depression.· Eating disorders.
My role as a therapist is to help you find clarity and perspective so you can build healthy relationship with yourself and others and better manage your internal and external world. Over time, you will gain your own insights allowing you to feel more in control and able to trust in your own strengths and internal resources, allowing you to make the changes needed to improve your life and well-being. I work in a client-centred and collaborative way adopting different counselling approaches to suit the client's needs. However, I emphasize on the commitment of the client to therapy because they are the master of their own mind and experience.
There will be times that it may be challenging as we explore parts of ourselves we might prefer to avoid or feel are unacceptable. If we are willing to take the risk, within the safety of the therapeutic space, counselling rewards us with a deeper understanding of ourselves and enriches our lives with more awareness and meaning.

Bola is great! Great expertise and knowledge and patient. I’ve left every session feeling lighter and with better understanding of how my mind works and what to work on.

Great listener, insightful.

Written on Jan 03, 2026 after therapy with Abolanle (Bola) for 2 weeks on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, self esteem, anger management, and compassion fatigue

This therapist is genuinely an amazing one. She talks to you on a very human level, makes you feel heard and helps you to see a side of things you may have not seen before. She is an amazing listener and always asks you if her own thoughts of the situation actually reflect what you may be feeling, which i think is great as she doesnt force her view of the situation on you. Highly reccommend her!

Bola manages to make me see things from different perspectives, which has helped me gain clarity and approach challenges in healthier ways. She listens with patience and compassion, while also gently encouraging me to think deeper and challenge unhelpful patterns. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter, supported, and more empowered.
