About Folashade
Folashade Dada is a BACP counsellor who uses a blend of practical talking therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. She supports adults and young adults through parenting pressures, career crossroads, grief and changes that feel overwhelming. Sessions focus on everyday steps people can use between meetings.
She draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients notice what matters to them and take small, values-led actions.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try clearer ways of thinking. Attachment-based ideas help people make sense of relationship patterns and improve intimacy and communication. Her style is warm and straightforward.
She offers empathy alongside gentle challenge so clients can try things out and build confidence. Meetings are collaborative - Folashade works with each person to set practical goals and review progress. She has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and works with a wide range of life concerns from sleep and anger problems to adoption and ageing issues.
Her approach is adaptable and focused on the needs of the individual in front of her. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Therapy can take different forms depending on what a person needs and the focus can change as issues shift over time.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Folashade commonly uses acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy when working online. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps even when feelings are difficult. It suits worries about life changes, low mood and problems with motivation. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Folashade will talk through options and tailor methods to a person’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the focus can change as progress is made and new issues emerge.
Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions can fit a work break or when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care across locations and schedules, and let people try different ways of working to see what suits them best.
