More about Abolanle

As a qualified counsellor, I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment where I can help you gain insight into the less conscious aspects of your thinking, behaviour and feelings.There are many reasons why people come for counselling. Together we can explore and address concerns surrounding many different issues, ranging from; Bereavement and loss., Anxiety/fear.· Change: divorce, redundancy and many others.· Relationship issues.· Abuse: past or present, sexual, physical, mental or financial.· Confidence and self esteem.· Addictions.· Depression.· Eating disorders.
My role as a therapist is to help you find clarity and perspective so you can build healthy relationship with yourself and others and better manage your internal and external world. Over time, you will gain your own insights allowing you to feel more in control and able to trust in your own strengths and internal resources, allowing you to make the changes needed to improve your life and well-being. I work in a client-centred and collaborative way adopting different counselling approaches to suit the client's needs. However, I emphasize on the commitment of the client to therapy because they are the master of their own mind and experience.
There will be times that it may be challenging as we explore parts of ourselves we might prefer to avoid or feel are unacceptable. If we are willing to take the risk, within the safety of the therapeutic space, counselling rewards us with a deeper understanding of ourselves and enriches our lives with more awareness and meaning.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Bola is kind and gives me a different opinion and has improved my mental healyh
I'm happy that I found such a professional, experienced, kind, respectful therapist like Bola! She really helps me change my life for the better! Thank you!
I had my first session with Abolanle a couple of days ago and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Within the first session of getting to know me, I had so many little realisations about myself, my behaviours, my relationships. Things that not many people would be intuitive enough to see at first glance. Bola mentioned more helpful insights within our first session than I had within 2 sessions with my previous therapist. I throughly enjoyed the session and my head was racing after. I’m very confident that Bola will help me process emotions and understand my patterns to help me get to the place I want to be! When reflecting, I wanted to pass on this feedback, as Bola clearly is a kind, compassionate person (especially to want to be in this line of work in the first place) but she is also very insightful and intuitive which is not a skill all people are blessed with. Thank you Bola ❤️
Bola has alot of knowledge in her field and is able to utilise it effectively for the challenges you want to address. I appreciate Bola's way of listening, sharing and practising practical tools you can use. She gets straight into the session without wasting any time. Thank you very much.
She is helpful
With Bola’s help and expert guidance I have achieved my therapy goal in less than a year. I got rid of unhealthy thinking patterns, and I have seen a positive change in my personal life and relationships as well as in my career.
Bola is very insightful, knowledgeable and careing. I have found our sessions very helpful and would recommend her to anyone who needs. Thank you Bola for al your help.
Bola is professional, wise, experienced, kind, empathic therapist, who I feel safe and comfortable to talk to, about anything bothering me! Our sessions usually end with me feeling really hopeful and motivated about my next move/plan/solution and I really appreciate that! Thank you!
Bola carefully listens to every detail and she is experienced in specific issues, such as race and immigration anxiety. She also gives homework and responds to messages
I love our sessions together. She is a great listener, and I'm so thankful for the incredible advice, insight, and tools that she shares with me. She is always very professional, and I feel very comfortable sharing and being open with her. It was a wonderful first therapy experience.
Bola is so incredibly patient. Even when I’m dumping my thoughts and out she is so skilled at processing my thoughts and how they link to other thoughts or behaviours. I genuinely feel that she has enabled me to make the progress that I’ve made and I’m incredibly grateful!
Bola is attentive and listens well, with insightful interventions that have helped me
Great listener but also wonderful insight. Bola understands my brain as someone who has ADHD so I feel safe and comfortable with her when I express myself.
Abolanle is an amazing therapist. She is kind and knowledgeable, and she has this calm, non-judgemental approach. She's always on time and really knows how to navigate each session. Thank you for eveything.
Bola is very kind, shows great empathy and listening. A lovely, warm individual.
Bola is extremely kind and comforting. She listens to me, makes me feel heard and supported, offers me sound-of-mind advice, and has provided insightful worksheets to work through, which have helped me greatly. I really enjoy and look forward to my sessions with her and I feel I have come very far on my therapy journey in the short amount of time with Betterhelp. All I can say is thank you Bola, you are amazing!
Abolanle is a kind, compassionate and professional therapist. I connected with her from our very first session and since then she has made me feel safe, comforted, and lighter. We have only begun discussing some major struggles for me and she's already provided tools and coping techniques to work through them. She also gives me worksheets and recommends books, which I really like! Overall I am very happy I found her and always look forward to our sessions and working with her. 10/10.
Abolanle is very nice, patient, easy to talk to and gives good advise
I'm very confident and trusting of Abolanle. Her knowledge and understanding of my situation has really helped me.
