About Kemi
Kemi Folarin offers a person-focused counselling style that centres the client's experience. He uses approaches drawn from client-centred and psychodynamic traditions to help people talk through what matters to them. Kemi's manner is warm and non-judgemental, aiming to create space where people feel listened to and understood.
He helps people explore life changes, career stress, anxiety, depression and grief. He also supports those facing relationship difficulties, parenting strain, addictive behaviours, anger and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Additional interests include ADHD, isolation and young adult issues. Sessions are led by the client and progress at a pace that suits them. Kemi encourages people to build self-awareness and to draw on inner resources to move forward.
He focuses on practical steps as well as deeper reflection to support desired outcomes. Before counselling he worked as a chief executive of a charity serving children, young people and the wider community from 2007. He holds a degree in Psychology and Sociology and a Masters in Youth and Community.
His listed credential is BACP, which refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Kemi is the author of The Best H.E.L.P Book, which outlines Holistic Examples of Learned Practice. He enjoys travel and reading personal development books, and aims to help people discover their inner voice and become the best version of themselves.

How Kemi works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kemi will work collaboratively to identify whether a more reflective psychodynamic focus or a practical client-centred path fits best. Together they will set goals and adjust the work as needs and preferences become clearer.
Session logistics should fit around everyday life. The original biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer focused conversations, practical coping strategies and deeper reflective work through remote sessions, helping people maintain momentum between appointments.
