Temitope Adeshina, BACP

Temitope Adeshina is a psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, life transitions and identity questions. Temitope draws on her background in mental health agencies, grief services and schools to offer practical, compassionate care.

She believes life is shaped by relationships, family patterns and the events that brought someone to this point. That belief guides how she listens and responds in sessions. Temitope treats each person as an individual and adapts her work to their story and goals.

Her approach mixes client-centred ways of listening with cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking. In practice this means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, work through attachment patterns, and try small, practical changes between meetings. Sessions are paced to suit the person’s readiness for change.

Temitope has experience helping people with family and parenting concerns, caregiver stress, body image and self-esteem, and issues around abandonment and attachment. She also works with those facing ageing and geriatric issues and people on the autism spectrum.

She offers sessions in English and Yoruba and welcomes people from different backgrounds, including international clients. The focus is on clear, down-to-earth conversations that help people find relief, clarity or new ways to cope.

How Temitope’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape feelings and expectations. It helps people understand why they react a certain way with others and supports new ways of connecting.

Client-Centred Therapy centres on being heard and respected. The therapist mirrors what a person says, offers empathy, and helps them find their own answers rather than prescribing solutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Temitope will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then shape sessions collaboratively. That means trying different techniques until a good fit is found.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current formats before booking. Many people appreciate that online therapy can fit around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it easier to continue therapy while living abroad or when schedules are busy.
