About Folashade

Folashade Dada is a BACP counsellor who supports adults and young adults through anxiety, depression, relationship concerns and issues like low self-esteem. She presents therapy as a collaborative process that helps people find their own strengths and make steady changes. Her tone is warm and encouraging, aimed at people who may feel unsure about starting therapy.

She works in an integrative way, combining different therapies to match each person’s needs. That means sessions can include practical exercises, talking through painful experiences, and checking how thoughts and behaviours affect daily life. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas.

Folashade draws on four years of experience to help with a wide range of concerns. These include parenting strain, grief, career stress, sleep problems, intimacy-related issues and coping with life changes. She also lists additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care and abandonment, which she can address in conversation with clients.

Her practice aims to balance warmth with honest reflection. Clients can expect both empathic listening and gentle challenge to try new ways of responding. Sessions aim to build practical skills for managing mood, stress and relationships.

People who choose to work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Folashade accepts international clients and offers therapy in English.

How therapy approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships affect current connections and helps people try new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Folashade will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, trying techniques, and adjusting the focus as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping regular contact, practising techniques between meetings and making therapy part of a busy schedule.
