About Adeshalewa

Adeshalewa Kolawole is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience and a BACP accreditation. She uses approachable language and practical tools to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. Her manner is calm and respectful, and she encourages people to discover their own strengths.

She often draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters most to them and take small steps toward it. A client-centred stance means she listens first and tailors the work to each person’s needs.

Adeshalewa has supported people affected by trauma and abuse, and those dealing with relationship strain, self-harm and obsessive thinking. She offers practical strategies to manage difficult moments and reduce unhelpful patterns over time. She works with adoption, foster care and immigration-related concerns alongside multicultural issues.

Her sessions combine evidence-informed techniques with a warm, non-judgemental approach. Together with the person she maps out goals and a clear plan for change. She aims to help people feel more in control of their emotions and to build coping skills that fit everyday life.

Sessions are carried out in English, and she accepts international clients through the site's matching process. To begin, users complete the short questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Adeshalewa commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and it helps with anxiety, low mood and obsessive thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to notice painful thoughts while committing to actions that match their values, which can help with stress and feelings of being stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. The early sessions are used to set priorities and test what helps most in everyday life.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and practical tools to the online setting so people can practise skills between meetings.
