Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba, NCPS

Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba is a qualified counsellor who works with individuals facing a wide range of life challenges, offering a welcoming, non-judgemental space to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. She helps clients uncover less conscious patterns that influence their responses to stress, relationships, loss, and change, and she supports people navigating issues such as bereavement, anxiety and fear, relationship difficulties, abuse - whether past or present - confidence and self-esteem concerns, addictions, depression, and eating problems.

Her role is to help clients gain clarity and perspective so they can build healthier relationships with themselves and others and better manage both their internal and external worlds. Over time clients often develop stronger insight and a greater sense of control, learning to draw on their own strengths and internal resources to make the changes they want in life. She works in a client-centered, collaborative way, adapting therapeutic methods to the needs of each person while stressing that meaningful progress depends on the client’s active commitment to the process.

She brings professional training and qualification to her practice, holding the NCPS credential, which indicates formal preparation in counselling and psychotherapy. Her approach integrates several evidence-informed therapies so she can tailor work to the presenting problem and the individual’s goals. Based in the United Kingdom, Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba has five years of experience and provides therapy in English and Yoruba.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy supports them

Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to commit to actions that align with their values - it can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections; it is useful for relationship issues, abandonment concerns, and difficulties with intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and she treats that choice as a collaborative decision. As a practitioner with an NCPS credential, she will discuss options with each client, adjusting methods to fit the client's goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they bring to therapy.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging - offer practical flexibility and make it easier to attend regularly despite busy schedules or geographical limits. These options allow clients to receive consistent support in ways that suit their daily life, while licensed professionals and therapists tailor interventions to be effective across different formats.
