About Fiwasade

Fiwasade Onifade works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She describes her approach as respectful and sensitive, and has seven years of professional experience. Fiwasade is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She works by talking through what is happening now and what has happened in the past, noticing patterns that keep problems going and finding practical ways to change them. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple steps that can be practised between meetings. The emphasis is on understanding feelings, improving coping, and making day-to-day tasks feel more manageable.

Fiwasade also supports people facing family of origin problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and intimacy challenges. She lists compassion fatigue, guilt and shame, immigration issues, HIV/AIDS related concerns, and isolation or loneliness as further areas she addresses.

Her work is aimed at helping individuals rebuild confidence, manage strong emotions, and improve close relationships. She adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation, keeping language straightforward and practical. She encourages small changes that add up to clearer thinking and steadier mood.

Fiwasade practises in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. Sessions are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book a first session.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Fiwasade notes that she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach is focused work on past events and how they affect current feelings and relationships; this involves talking through memories, noticing patterns, and practising different responses to reduce distress. Another helpful method is structured coping skills work, which teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood and stress through short exercises and behaviour changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

The practical benefits of remote counselling include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and keeping momentum between appointments. The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain regular meetings, offer quicker check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time, helping counselling to fit into everyday life.
