About Folashade

Counsellor and member of BACP with four years' experience, Folashade Dada works with adults and young adults on anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and low self-esteem. She sees people dealing with stress, grief, parenting strain, sleep problems and life transitions. Folashade also addresses intimacy-related difficulties and career-related worries.

Folashade uses a blend of approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at unhelpful thoughts and make practical changes. Attachment-based work and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional connection.

Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps. Conversations cover what is happening now, what patterns repeat, and what changes feel realistic. She helps people notice their values and identify small actions that reflect those values.

Folashade offers a conversational style that combines listening with gentle challenge. This means there will be chance to talk things through and to try out new ways of responding. The aim is to build practical tools for everyday life.

She accepts clients in the United Kingdom and works with people in English. Folashade asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Pricing varies with location and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling

Folashade draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred ways of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current emotional responses and can help with recurring relationship or intimacy difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. That discussion guides which methods are used and how sessions are shaped, so the plan can change as needs become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the exact online options before booking. Many people find online counselling fits into work and family routines more easily, allows shorter check-ins and avoids travel time. Online sessions can make it simpler to continue therapy across locations, but the practical arrangements should be agreed when you set up the first appointment.
