About Folashade

Folashade Dada works with adults and young adults on practical problems such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem. She uses an integrative style and aims to help people identify strengths and develop tools to manage life challenges. Folashade is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has four years of experience in counselling.

In sessions she takes an adaptable, person-focused approach. She listens to what is happening now and helps people make small, doable changes. Folashade draws on methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and to build coping strategies.

Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are offered when relationship and intimacy issues are the focus. The work can include examining communication, boundaries, and patterns of closeness and distance.

Folashade will explore practical steps for managing stress, sleep, anger and career pressures. She also supports people dealing with grief, life transitions, parenting strains and health-related concerns such as chronic illness or caregiving stress. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and to set achievable next steps.

She accepts international clients and sees people in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, users follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical strategies to change thinking patterns and behaviours, which can help with sleep problems, stress and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how earlier connections influence current intimacy and communication issues.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences with the client and try different ways of working to find what fits best. Sessions may mix methods as needed to meet specific concerns and short-term goals.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the options available when booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins or offering a way to join from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and communication to suit the practicalities of working remotely.
