About Tolulope
Tolulope Elizabeth Fakunle is a counsellor registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and has eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with anxiety, stress, relationship and family concerns, and a range of other issues such as depression, grief and addictions.
Tolulope uses practical, conversational approaches in sessions. She treats people as the experts of their own lives and helps them notice strengths they already have. Sessions aim to break down problems into manageable steps and build everyday coping skills.
She draws on methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). These methods are used to look at thoughts, feelings and patterns that keep difficulties going, and to try out different ways of responding.
Tolulope also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when they fit the issue at hand. She pays attention to how people relate to themselves and others, and to practical skills for regulating strong emotions.
Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba. Tolulope does not take international clients at this time. Costs vary with location and sessions use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, a short matching questionnaire must be completed before booking a first session.
Her approach is straightforward and focused on what will help day to day. People who want practical tools and a collaborative way of talking through problems will find this style relevant.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters to the person and on small committed actions that fit their values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches steps to change unhelpful patterns. These techniques are often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a respectful, non-judgemental way of talking. It helps people find their own answers and build confidence in making changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and agree which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to arrange appointments around work and childcare. The listing does not specify which session formats are used here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals offering online work can still use the same ACT, CBT and client-centred tools when meeting remotely.
