About Abolanle

Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has five years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing common life pressures such as anxiety, depression, stress, addiction and relationship difficulties. She also helps with parenting concerns, grief, trauma and problems with self-esteem and intimacy.

Bola uses clear, practical methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying different ways of responding, and building everyday skills. She works collaboratively and asks people to take an active role in making changes between sessions.

Her work often addresses patterns rooted in attachment, abandonment and family of origin issues. That can mean looking at how past experiences shape current reactions and relationships. She also uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when they suit a person's goals.

Bola describes her role as helping clients gain clarity and perspective. She aims to help people manage their internal and external worlds more effectively. Over time she supports clients to notice strengths and to practise new ways of handling stress and conflict.

Therapy can involve challenging topics and uncomfortable feelings. She frames that work as a collaborative effort where the client decides the pace and focus. Practical steps and regular review are used to track progress and adapt the plan as needed.

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and some behaviour patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult feelings while clarifying values and taking small steps towards a chosen life. It can help with avoidance, low motivation and persistent worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present reactions and aims to change recurring patterns in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels practical, then agree on a plan together. That plan can include homework, small behavioural experiments or emotion regulation skills depending on the chosen approach.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits can help people practise new skills in their everyday routine and keep therapy sustainable alongside work, family and other commitments.
