About Adeshalewa
Adeshalewa Kolawole is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She lists stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression among the main areas she works with. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Her way of working is practical and structured. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred methods. In sessions she helps people notice patterns of thought and behaviour that create difficulty, and then tries different responses to those patterns.
Adeshalewa has supported people with a wide range of difficulties, including obsessive thoughts and compulsions, postpartum depression, self-harm and trauma from abuse. She also works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, immigration and multicultural concerns. Her approach includes listening, respect and collaborative planning.
She describes her practice as professional and person-focused, aiming to identify triggers and build skills for handling emotional distress. Adeshalewa and the client plan clear steps and practical strategies to manage symptoms and everyday challenges.
Initial contact begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How approaches like CBT and ACT are used online
Adeshalewa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test different behaviours. CBT focuses on practical steps and short-term exercises, which can fit well into scheduled online sessions.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and accept difficult feelings while taking meaningful action. Client-centred therapy provides space for people to talk and be listened to, helping build a working relationship and guide which tools to use.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adeshalewa will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before, and then agree a plan. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions focus more on skills practice, values-based work or open exploration.
Please confirm the available online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises and homework so they work in a screen-based session and in everyday life.
