About Folashade

Folashade Dada is a BACP counsellor who helps adults and young adults facing anxiety, depression and relationship strains. She supports people dealing with low self-esteem, grief, parenting stress and career pressures. Her style aims to be warm and straightforward so clients feel understood from the first session.

With four years' experience, she draws on several practical approaches rather than one fixed method. Folashade adapts sessions to what each person needs, combining listening with gentle challenge. This helps people uncover strengths and try new ways of coping.

Common topics she works on include communication problems, intimacy-related issues and coping with life changes. She also supports people affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiving stress, chronic illness and ageing and geriatric issues. Folashade pays attention to how past attachments shape current relationships.

In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and build valued action. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred approaches guide how she responds in the room, encouraging emotional awareness and practical steps forward.

Folashade offers therapy in English and is based in the United Kingdom. International clients can work with her. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify and test unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to reduce distress and improve sleep or mood.

Folashade aims to work collaboratively to find the right mix of approaches. She will discuss goals and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses. That way the plan changes if something isn’t helping and builds on what does.

If you are considering online work, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or health demands. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or sessions without video when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find remote work helps people maintain continuity during major life transitions.
