About Fiwasade
Counsellor and BACP member Fiwasade Onifade has seven years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.
Fiwasade focuses on practical conversation and steady support. She listens to the concerns a person brings and helps them clarify what they want to change. Sessions are aimed at building day-to-day skills for managing difficult feelings and improving confidence.
Her background includes work with a wide range of relationship and family of origin issues, as well as matters such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, immigration issues, and HIV / AIDS. She also supports people through separation, infidelity, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Fiwasade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address dissociation, guilt and shame, and the effects of domestic violence. She will discuss practical steps and tools that can help with coping and recovery. The tone is straightforward and focused on what can change in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Fiwasade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach she uses focuses on practical skills for managing stress and anxiety. This involves learning breathing and grounding techniques, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, and trying small behavioural changes to reduce day-to-day distress.Another approach she applies helps process trauma and abuse through gradual exposure and stabilisation strategies. This aims to reduce overwhelming reactions and to build coping tools for flashbacks, dissociation, and strong emotions that follow traumatic events.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Fiwasade works with each person to agree what to try first and she reviews progress together. That means treatment is adjusted to fit your needs, goals and preferences as therapy progresses.
