Fiwasade Onifade, BACP

Fiwasade Onifade is a UK-based therapist with seven years of professional experience supporting people through trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. She works with individuals facing relationship and family challenges, intimacy-related concerns, compassion fatigue, and a range of issues that include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and isolation. Fiwasade approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she adapts conversations and treatment plans to reflect each client’s unique background and goals.

Clients can expect practical, evidence-informed support aimed at building resilience, restoring confidence, and coping with loss or stressful change. Fiwasade holds the BACP credential - a recognition from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development. She believes taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life takes courage and sees her role as a supportive and empowering partner in that journey. Fiwasade offers flexible session options to accommodate different needs and helps clients explore realistic, meaningful steps toward wellbeing.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Support

Fiwasade uses evidence-informed approaches tailored to the issues a person brings. A trauma-informed approach focuses on understanding the impact of traumatic experiences and helping clients build safety, coping skills, and emotional regulation to move forward from abuse or distress. Grief-focused work addresses loss and bereavement by helping individuals process emotions, adapt to change, and find ways to rebuild meaning after a significant loss. Supportive therapy for mood and anxiety offers practical strategies to manage symptoms, enhance coping, and strengthen self-esteem while exploring underlying patterns that affect wellbeing.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Fiwasade treats this as a collaborative effort. She works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and the methods that feel most helpful, and she adjusts the plan as progress and needs evolve. Licensed professionals guide this process with sensitivity to each person’s unique circumstances.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from home or during busy days, and they allow sessions to fit around work, family, or other responsibilities while maintaining an ongoing therapeutic relationship.
