About Adenike
Counsellor Adenike Oduwusi is a BACP and NCPS registered practitioner with eight years' experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns, and also supports people facing parenting strain, career stress and coping with life changes.
Adenike trained as a psychotherapist and moved into practice in 2018. She combines evidence-informed methods with practical, real-world work in mental health settings. Her background includes helping adults and young adults who are bereaved or struggling with work-related stress.
In sessions she listens closely and pays attention to things that are not always said. She uses an integrative approach, drawing on several therapies to fit what a person needs. That may look like working on values, improving relationship patterns, or focusing on a specific problem to reach clearer next steps.
She describes herself as reflective and aims to be attentive to each person's context. That includes considering cultural and immigration issues, long-term illness or disability, and the strain of parenting or postpartum challenges.
Adenike offers appointments at different times of day to fit varied schedules. Her practice supports people who speak English and Yoruba, and she accepts enquiries from international clients as well as those in the UK.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling
Adenike commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. ACT focuses on identifying what matters to someone and taking small, values-led steps. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Attachment work looks at how early relationship patterns affect present connections and helps people change repetitive ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's perspective at the centre and uses listening and reflection to help someone make sense of their feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Adenike will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that may suit those aims. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow meetings from a chosen location. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or sessions that do not require being on camera. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, commonly offer these practical benefits while working to match approach and format to a person's needs.
