About Bolanle
Bolanle Babatunde is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She supports clients dealing with low self-esteem, grief, addictions and the ripple effects of trauma and abuse. Bolanle brings a calm, practical style to sessions and aims to make conversations straightforward and useful from the first meeting.
Bolanle holds a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
How Bolanle works
She has practised for seven years and draws on that experience when tailoring support to each person. Her background includes working with clients from varied ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds. Her integrative approach means she selects methods to suit each person's situation rather than using one fixed model.
Typical work includes looking at early attachment patterns, identifying unhelpful thinking, and clarifying feelings so clients can make more intentional choices. Sessions can be short term for a focused problem or longer term for deeper change. Bolanle also supports people facing family problems, parenting strain and caregiver stress.
She works with issues like abandonment, attachment challenges, body image and chronic pain or illness. Practical tools and gentle reflection are combined so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Bolanle uses video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging so people can choose the format that fits their life.

How integrative approaches work online
Bolanle uses an integrative approach that blends evidence-based techniques chosen to match each person's needs. That might include looking at attachment patterns to understand how early relationships affect current behaviour and emotions, which helps with relationship issues, abandonment concerns and attachment problems.She also employs practical, cognitive-style work to spot and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and depression because it helps people recognise thought patterns and try alternative responses in daily life.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which methods to try, based on the issues, goals and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time if something is not working.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Shorter check-ins work well by text or chat, and messaging can help people reflect between live sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or other commitments.
