About Kemi
Kemi Folarin uses an integrative approach that draws on Client-Centred and Psychodynamic ideas to help people untangle difficult moments. He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can feel heard and begin to notice what matters to them. Sessions move at the person’s pace and focus on what they want to change or understand.
He helps people explore feelings and patterns to build clearer self-awareness. That might mean talking through stress, anxiety, grief or relationship worries, or working on self-esteem and confidence.
Background and approach
He also supports people facing career changes, workplace strain, parenting pressures and issues related to addiction. Kemi brings five years of counselling experience alongside a background running a charity for children, young people and the wider community. He holds a degree in Psychology and Sociology and a Masters in Youth and Community.
He is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. In sessions he encourages people to draw on their own inner resources and to notice unhelpful beliefs. Work can include looking at past experiences that still affect day-to-day life, and trying practical steps to cope better right now.
Some people use therapy as coaching to set clear goals and move forward. People may find his style warm and straightforward. He offers a friendly space to discuss anything without judgement and supports clients in making small, realistic changes.
The aim is greater self-awareness and more control over next steps.

How integrative approaches work online
Kemi works in an integrative way that includes Client-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches alongside Solution-Focused ideas. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting people to find their own answers, which helps when someone needs a calm space to talk and reflect. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and patterns, which can help with recurring worries, relationship difficulties and deeper emotional issues. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals, which suits people who want short-term change or coaching-style support.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and try different ways of working to see what helps most. This collaborative process means methods can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins and text-based messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, travel and family life, while letting people choose the format that best supports their needs.
