About Abolanle
Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She is known for a calm, respectful approach that lets people talk through painful issues at their own pace. Bola speaks English and Yoruba and practises from the United Kingdom.
Abolanle draws on five years of experience to support practical change. Sessions focus on understanding current patterns, spotting unhelpful thinking and practising new ways of coping.
How Abolanle works
She invites clients to notice what matters to them and to try small, repeatable steps that fit their life. Her work mixes person-centred listening with structured tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and skills-based therapies. That blend helps when emotions run high or when habits feel stuck.
It also supports people who are trying to cope after loss, trauma, relationship stress, or big life changes. Bola pays attention to attachment and connection issues and to how early family patterns can affect adult relationships. She also offers coaching-style support for career or life-direction questions alongside clinical work for depression, bipolar and addiction concerns.
The focus is on what the client wants to change and on building real, day-to-day strategies. Sessions can include practical exercises, emotion regulation skills, values work and conversational exploration. She asks for commitment to the process while keeping the pace manageable.
Over time clients aim to feel more confident in their choices and better able to manage difficult feelings and situations.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online therapy
Abolanle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change feelings and behaviour; it often helps with anxiety, low mood, stress and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then try approaches together. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as progress is made or new issues emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is good for deeper conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing contact between calls. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, childcare and travel, and allow people to use methods that match their day-to-day life.
