Bolanle Babatunde, BACP

Bolanle Babatunde is an integrative counsellor with more than seven years of professional experience helping people navigate emotional challenges and life transitions. She holds a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP/BACP), reflecting her formal training and commitment to professional standards.

Working from an integrative perspective, Bolanle draws on a range of evidence-informed techniques to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. She helps clients explore how early attachment patterns influence present-day relationships, clarify thoughts and emotions, and identify unhelpful thinking patterns so they can make more intentional choices for personal growth. Her approach can be adapted for both short-term support and longer-term work, depending on the individual’s goals.

Bolanle has supported people facing issues such as abuse, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, chronic fatigue, trauma, and loss. She has experience working with a diverse client base, including men and women from varied ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds, and focuses on creating a collaborative space where people can build confidence and improve their overall well-being.

Integrative approaches and practical online care

Integrative counselling combines techniques from different therapeutic models to create a personalised plan that fits each person’s needs. This approach allows Bolanle to select strategies that address emotional patterns, relationship dynamics, and coping skills, adapting the work as progress unfolds.

Cognitive-focused techniques help people identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt. These practical tools are often used to build new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-focused work explores how early relationships shape current connections and can be useful when addressing relationship difficulties, abandonment, or trust issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Bolanle will work with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and life circumstances and recommend methods that feel most helpful. Sessions can take place via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs. Online therapy makes it easier to receive consistent support without travel, and it allows clients to access licensed professionals from varied locations while maintaining a regular therapeutic rhythm.
