About Adetayo
Adetayo Abraham-Adeyemo welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, relationship strain, work pressures or low mood. She is a counsellor who aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. Her approach is warm and respectful and she works with clients to set the pace and goals for each meeting.
She has practised in the United Kingdom for ten years and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
How Adetayo works
That background means she has supported people through anxiety, depression, grief and trauma, as well as career and intimacy-related concerns. She also offers help for compassion fatigue and caregiver stress. In sessions she combines a client-centred style with cognitive behavioural therapy, and adapts techniques to each person’s needs.
Conversations focus on what feels most pressing and on practical steps that can help between sessions. She aims to be responsive and to help people build clearer thinking and coping strategies over time. Adetayo works with a broad set of issues including attachment and relationship patterns, communication and commitment problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
She also supports people facing life transitions, midlife questions, immigration-related stress and ageing concerns. Sessions are offered in English and are available online through several formats. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to her, and scheduling is arranged according to practical availability.

How Adetayo blends approaches for online work
Adetayo uses a client-centred approach that focuses on the person’s experience. This means sessions follow what matters most to the individual, with the counsellor listening attentively and reflecting feelings and priorities back to help clarify them.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. CBT helps spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practises new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems.
Choosing the right method is a shared process. Adetayo will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust techniques as the relationship develops. That collaborative planning aims to make each session practical and relevant to current needs.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and non-verbal cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and chat or messaging can fit into busy days or offer a written way to reflect between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
