About Adeshalewa

Adeshalewa Kolawole works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred methods. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years' experience in the United Kingdom.

Adeshalewa uses practical CBT techniques to help people spot patterns in thoughts and behaviour. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult feelings and decide on values-based steps. Her client-centred approach means sessions are led by the person's own concerns and pace.

She has supported people facing obsessive thoughts and compulsions, postnatal depression, self-harm and the aftermath of abuse. She works with issues linked to adoption and foster care, immigration and multicultural concerns. She helps with relationship and commitment issues as well as stress at work and bereavement.

Sessions focus on identifying triggers, building coping strategies and practising new skills between meetings. Adeshalewa listens, reflects and helps clients try different ways of responding to difficult situations. Practical exercises and short-term behavioural tasks are used when helpful.

Her style is straightforward and goal-focused. She collaborates with each person to create steps they can use day to day. People who want to understand their emotional patterns and learn clear strategies often find this approach useful.

How Adeshalewa uses CBT and ACT in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them. It focuses on clarifying what matters to the person and taking small values-based actions; this can help with anxiety, low mood and issues linked to life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and behaviour experiments to change patterns that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, obsessive thinking and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss the different methods and agree a plan with the client based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as the work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow people to use quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can deliver the same therapeutic techniques remotely, while working with clients to set clear goals and practical tasks between meetings.
