About Bolade
Bolade Jumbo is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 12 years of experience and offers a warm, interactive style that aims to put people at ease. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Bolade prioritises respect and non-judgement. She supports people to lead conversations about what matters to them and to set the pace for change.
How Bolade works
Her work focuses on building self-acceptance, confidence and practical ways to manage distress. She helps people address stress, anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties, and talks through relationship and intimacy concerns. Parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem are also areas she commonly supports.
Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, narcissism, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Bolade uses client-centred therapy alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing to encourage reflection and small, steady steps towards goals. In sessions she listens openly, reflects back what she hears and supports clearer decision-making.
People often work on emotional regulation, setting boundaries and improving communication. She has three years of online practice experience from recent years and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions once they have selected the Start Therapy button.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what they hear to help people make sense of feelings and take steps they choose. This approach is useful for low self-esteem, relationship concerns and making personal changes.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase moment-to-moment awareness. It can help with anxiety, sleep difficulties and managing strong emotions by bringing quieter, steadier attention to thoughts and sensations.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change. The counsellor asks curious questions, highlights strengths and supports small practical goals to build momentum for longer term change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bolade will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and together decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls create a closer sense of connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text messaging allows brief reflections between meetings. These options increase flexibility and help people access support in ways that fit their day-to-day routine.
