About Fiwasade
Fiwasade Onifade welcomes people seeking support for trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety, and difficulties with relationships and intimacy. She also helps with compassion fatigue and practical life changes. Fiwasade works with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, divorce and separation, and family of origin concerns.
Fiwasade uses a straightforward, respectful way of working. Conversations are tailored to each person's needs, with a plan agreed together.
Background and approach
She focuses on making small, manageable changes that build confidence and reduce overwhelm over time. Her approach is compassionate and sensitive. Sessions aim to help people understand what they are experiencing and find practical steps forward.
The therapist encourages self-compassion and developing coping strategies that fit everyday life. Fiwasade holds BACP, which indicates membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has seven years of professional experience in the UK and brings that background to her work with clients.
People can expect a calm, steady presence and help to identify patterns that keep problems repeating. The goal is to support stronger coping, clearer decision-making, and greater confidence when facing change. To begin, readers should use the Start Therapy button on the site and complete the short matching questionnaire.
Scheduling is then done according to the therapist's availability.

How Fiwasade works online
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may adapt the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy around work, family and travel, reduce time spent commuting, and make it easier to attend regular sessions. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed or for sessions that do not require being on camera, depending on the available formats.
