About Abolanle

Counsellor Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba is a UK-based practitioner and holds NCPS registration. She has five years' experience helping people with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting and stress. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba.

Bola works in a client-centred way and uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. She helps people talk through how they think and feel, and notices patterns that get in the way of daily life. Conversations aim to increase understanding so people can make practical changes.

She draws on methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work. These approaches are used to look at thoughts, emotions and behaviours and how they affect relationships and wellbeing. She also uses ideas from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when emotion regulation tools are needed.

Bola emphasises collaboration and commitment to the work. That means she and the person set goals together and review progress as sessions continue. She explains when material may feel uncomfortable and supports people to keep going through difficult moments.

People come for many reasons, from coping with life changes and addiction to issues with intimacy, eating, sleep or career stress. She also helps with attachment concerns, abandonment, communication problems and the aftermath of separation or domestic violence.

Sessions are run from the United Kingdom and follow a subscription billing system that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients use a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first appointment through the online booking flow.

Therapeutic approaches in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach often suits problems like low mood, anxiety and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current interactions. It can help with trust, intimacy and family of origin issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the person's goals and preferences. Sessions can adapt over time as needs change.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose video or audio depending on bandwidth and comfort. Registered or accredited professionals aim to make sessions practical and relevant to everyday life.
