Bolade Jumbo, BACP

Bolade Jumbo is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She brings a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to therapy and prioritises honesty, respect for diversity, and practical support for people seeking change.

With 12 years of professional experience, including more than six years working with young adults and three years of online practice developed during the pandemic, Bolade offers a warm and interactive therapeutic style. She avoids stigmatizing labels and works with sensitivity to understand each person’s unique situation. Therapy is client-led, with the client determining the main focus and direction of work while Bolade provides empathic listening, encouragement, and tools to help navigate difficult feelings.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, anger, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, depression, sleep difficulties, career questions, intimacy-related issues, and matters affecting LGBT and family wellbeing. She also works with issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, communication and control problems, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, and self-harm.

Bolade aims to help people build resilience, self-reliance, and self-acceptance while improving communication and confidence. She welcomes international clients and offers therapy in English and Yoruba, supporting individuals who want to take early steps toward greater well-being and more fulfilling relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support

Bolade Jumbo works from a person-centred foundation and integrates mindful and motivational techniques to support change. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where the individual leads the conversation and Bolade follows, helping people explore their own goals and values and build self-understanding. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple, present-focused practices that help reduce reactivity to stress and anxiety and support better emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of working that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and strengthen the motivation needed to take practical steps forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Bolade collaborates with each person to find the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines these methods in a flexible, client-led way so that the direction of therapy reflects what matters most to the individual.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, Bolade provides flexible options that can fit into busy lives and different time zones. Online therapy supports continuity of care, easier access for international clients, and the ability to work with a licensed professional from a location that suits the client.
