About Bolade
Bolade Jumbo is a person-centred counsellor who has practised for 12 years and holds BACP membership. She offers a warm, interactive approach and prioritises respect and non-judgemental care. She works in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom base.
Her style is conversational and client-led. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to the person and then agreeing small, manageable steps. She avoids labels and focuses on practical changes clients can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Bolade offers support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and sleeping problems. She also helps people facing relationship strain, intimacy concerns, anger and career uncertainty. Parenting concerns are included among the areas she addresses, alongside issues such as trauma and abuse, LGBT matters and family problems.
She uses client-centred techniques alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That means sessions centre on the client's priorities, gentle attention to thoughts and feelings, and encouragement to find motivation for change. Bolade has three years of online practice experience developed during the pandemic.
People working with her can expect empathic listening, encouragement and a focus on building confidence. Practical tools and reflective conversation aim to reduce isolation and support healthier coping. The pace and goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.

Person-centred and practical approaches for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the client's perspective at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens closely, follows the client's priorities and helps them find their own way forward; it suits people who want a supportive, non-directive space to explore concerns.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily feelings without harsh judgement. Practising short, mindful exercises can help with anxiety, stress and sleep problems by reducing reactivity and increasing calm in day-to-day life.
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. The therapist asks open questions and reflects back what matters, which can be useful for goals like building self-esteem, addressing self-harm urges or making changes in parenting or career behaviours.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Bolade will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs and preferences, and she adapts the work as goals shift over time.
Online therapy makes different session types available. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier between commitments, while live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options give practical flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives.
