About Folashade

Folashade Dada is a counsellor who works with adults and young adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem struggles, grief, parenting pressures and life changes. Folashade uses a warm, non-judgemental style to help clients name their concerns and decide what to work on next.

She explains therapy as a journey of self-discovery and invites people to use their own strengths. Folashade blends different approaches so sessions match each person's needs rather than following a fixed script. She combines empathy with gentle challenge to help people try new ways of coping.

In practice she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. That means sessions may include noticing unhelpful thoughts, practising small behavioural steps, and looking at how past relationships influence present ones. Conversations are practical and focused on what the client wants to achieve.

Folashade holds BACP membership, which is recorded as BACP in her credentials. She has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. Folashade has worked with issues ranging from intimacy and communication problems to chronic health and caregiver stress.

People who come to her often want straightforward help with everyday problems like sleep, work pressure, parenting and managing anger. She encourages clients to set achievable goals and to reflect on progress between sessions.

How different approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their personal values, which can help with anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and often uses short practical exercises to reduce symptoms like low mood or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, useful for intimacy and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods as needed. This collaborative process helps find strategies that feel helpful and realistic for the individual.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or caring duties and can reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed or for choosing less bandwidth-heavy options if that helps with concentration. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients decide what will work best for them.
