About Abolanle
Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba is a counsellor registered with NCPS with five years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on parenting pressures, relationship strain, anxiety, depression and a wide range of life challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba.
Bola takes a direct, client-centred approach. She listens to what is happening at home and helps people name the patterns that make things harder. Conversations focus on practical steps as well as understanding feelings and behaviour. She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person rather than one fixed method.
Areas she commonly addresses include parenting stress, grief and loss, anger, trauma and problems with self-esteem. She also supports people facing addiction, sleep or eating difficulties, career decisions, and the emotional fallout of separation or infidelity. She will work with issues such as attachment, abandonment, control and family of origin problems when these affect day-to-day life.
Bola describes therapy as a collaborative process. She will encourage commitment to the work and help clients try out different ways of coping between sessions. Some parts of therapy can feel uncomfortable at first, and she prepares people for that while staying focused on clear goals.
To begin, people are asked to use the site matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The subscription-based sessions can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and take actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and the stress of parenting by encouraging small, value-driven steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current relationship patterns and can be useful when issues around abandonment, attachment or family of origin problems affect daily life.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together they will try approaches that fit the person's situation. This is a collaborative process with adjustments made as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings or switch off the camera for lower-bandwidth calls if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can help plan how sessions sit alongside parenting and everyday commitments.
