About Fiwasade
Fiwasade Onifade is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.
She works with people who are dealing with big life changes and painful past events. She also supports those facing abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, divorce or separation, and family of origin problems. Fiwasade helps with issues like guilt, shame, isolation and the effects of domestic violence.
Her approach is practical and conversational. She adapts sessions to the person in front of her and the problems they bring. Sessions are used to talk through what’s happening, to identify patterns, and to find workable steps forward.
Fiwasade treats clients with respect and sensitivity. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, grief, mood and relationship strain. The focus is on what can be changed now and how to manage current stresses.
For people worried about intimacy, commitment or control issues, she offers direct conversations about boundaries, expectations and rebuilding trust. For those coping with loss or major life shifts, she helps map practical coping strategies and ways to move day-to-day.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Fiwasade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and mood concerns. For trauma and abuse she focuses on stabilising emotional reactions and building consistent coping skills to reduce day-to-day distress. For grief and loss she works through the practical tasks of adjusting to change and finding ways to manage reminders and difficult days.She also uses approaches for mood and self-esteem that concentrate on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes. These methods help with low mood, motivation and social withdrawal by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss the options with each person and choose methods together based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide which techniques to use and how to pace progress.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact formats available before booking because this biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use a camera or who need sessions that slot into a break from daily responsibilities.
