About Adenike

Adenike Oduwusi helps people with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns using practical, evidence-based counselling methods. She works in English and Yoruba and is registered with BACP and NCPS with eight years' experience in the field.

Adenike trained as a psychotherapist and qualified in 2018. She has worked with young adults and adults who are bereaved or struggling with anxiety, depression and workplace issues. Her experience includes supporting people through parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes.

She uses an integrative approach in sessions, drawing on several established therapeutic methods and applying them to everyday problems. Sessions focus on clear, real-world steps and talking through what is happening in a person's life now. The emphasis is on practical skills and on making sense of difficult emotions.

Adenike describes herself as a reflective practitioner who listens for both spoken and unspoken concerns. She aims to respond to clients promptly, generally at least once each morning and once each evening, with flexibility to offer morning or evening appointments.

Her background includes work with people affected by trauma and abuse, chronic illness and disability, immigration-related stress, postpartum depression, and multicultural concerns. She also supports people dealing with career decisions, anger, loneliness and questions about life purpose.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Adenike uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and focus on values-led actions; this can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current difficulties, which can help with intimacy and relationship stress.

She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which involves listening carefully and helping people find their own solutions through reflective dialogue. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to find what fits best.

If you plan to meet online, confirm the available session formats before booking as options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for morning or evening appointments. Some formats suit brief check-ins or phone conversations, while others work better for longer, in-depth sessions that use video. Discuss practical arrangements and preferred session length when you schedule your first appointment.
