About Abolanle
Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing parenting pressures and related stresses. She speaks English and Yoruba and aims to make sessions clear and down-to-earth. Bola works with people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and attachment concerns, ADHD, addiction, and life changes.
Bola uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person in the lead. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to address thinking patterns and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills to help with emotional regulation.
Background and approach
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas are also part of her toolbox when they fit the situation. Her style is collaborative. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and try small, practical steps between sessions.
Sessions often include talking things through, practising a skill, and checking what worked afterwards. Bola emphasises the client’s commitment to the work. She expects honest effort and supports people through difficult moments that can come up in therapy.
Over time she helps clients build awareness and trust in their own strengths. She has five years' experience and holds the NCPS credential. Her practice in the United Kingdom covers many concerns linked to parenting, stress, anger, self-esteem, trauma, and more.
Conversations aim to be practical, respectful, and focused on real-life change.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online care
Abolanle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT often involves short exercises and homework that suit video or messaging formats well.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current connections. This approach focuses on understanding patterns in relationships and can be explored through reflective conversation online.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bola will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs and goals. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together and can change as progress happens.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging work for people who prefer writing or want quick check-ins between calls. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work and family life.
