About Abolanle
Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba welcomes people who are struggling with issues like anxiety, stress, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, addictions and grief. She speaks English and Yoruba and works to make sessions straightforward and practical. Bola describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client leads and she supports change.
Bola uses a client-centred approach that foregrounds the person's own goals and experience. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and commitment strategies to build values-based action.
Background and approach
Dialectical and attachment-informed approaches are used when relationships and emotional regulation are central concerns. In sessions she helps people gain clearer perspective on thoughts, feelings and behaviours. That can look like noticing patterns, learning small skills to manage strong emotions, or making different choices that match what matters to the person.
She emphasises the client's commitment because lasting change takes practice between sessions. Bola understands that exploring difficult material can feel challenging. She aims to hold a non-judgemental space that supports steady progress, even when the work becomes uncomfortable.
Over time she helps people develop their own strengths and confidence. Her five years of experience have included work with loss, relationship issues, abuse, eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar mood concerns and career stress. People who want practical, respectful therapy that focuses on real-life problems may find her approach helpful.

How Abolanle works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. She aims to adapt techniques so they fit each person's situation and pace, working collaboratively rather than imposing a single method.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, reduce travel time and allow a steady rhythm of meetings. It also lets people try different ways of working remotely while testing whether the approach and therapist feel like a good match.
