About Ronke

Counsellor and BACP member with eight years of experience, Ronke Adeyemi works with people across a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. She practises in the United Kingdom and offers help with grief, parenting strains, career questions and issues around intimacy and self‑esteem. Sessions are available in English and Yoruba.

Ronke trained to master's level in counselling and psychotherapy and holds a post‑qualification diploma in couple's counselling. Her work has taken place in hospices, domestic abuse charities and private practice, and she has experience supporting neurodivergent people alongside clinical assessment work as an ADI‑R assessor. The BACP credential is listed as her professional membership.

Her approach is integrative. She draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment‑Based and Emotionally‑Focused methods. That means sessions may include looking at thoughts and actions, exploring relationship patterns, and focusing on values and emotional connection.

In a typical session she listens to the immediate problem and then agrees practical steps to take between meetings. Work can include developing coping strategies, practising different ways of relating to others, or looking at how past losses affect day‑to‑day life. Ronke also offers support with career stress, compassion fatigue and complex family issues such as adoption and blended family dynamics.

People who contact her are likely to be asked some basic questions before the first session. The early meetings focus on clear goals and realistic steps, with room to review what is and isn’t working as therapy progresses.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, looks at what matters to someone and how to act on those values even when feelings are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and can help with unhelpful thinking and behaviours that maintain anxiety or depression.

Attachment‑based work examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This can be useful for relationship problems, intimacy issues and for understanding patterns of avoidance or fear in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods with the client and decide together which to try first. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as needs and goals change.

Confirm the session formats available before booking because they are not specified here. Online counselling can help fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when that suits a person better. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to make therapy more manageable alongside daily life.
