Her work encourages clients to recognise and build on their strengths so they can feel more empowered and better able to manage their emotions and life story.

Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care with Adeshalewa Kolawole

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take committed action aligned with their values; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and issues involving avoidance.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s own experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard to support self-exploration and growth; it is often helpful for building self-esteem, working through relationship concerns, and processing trauma.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and learning practical skills to change behaviour and emotional responses; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, OCD and stress-related difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Adeshalewa Kolawole works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy provides flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier for clients to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity of care across locations, and access support when in-person visits are not practical.
