How Femi works
Sessions aim to clarify thoughts and feelings, and to identify small practical steps that can make a difference. Early sessions concentrate on getting a clear picture of current difficulties. He asks about mood, relationships and what prompted seeking counselling.
From that assessment, Femi and the client plan the next steps together and agree on goals for future work. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. After an initial assessment, the format and pacing of sessions are arranged to fit the person’s needs and schedule.
Femi is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. He has four years of experience supporting people through change and crisis. He aims to create a steady, practical space where issues can be named and worked through.
Therapy with Femi typically mixes talking, reflective exercises and practical strategies. He adapts methods from attachment-focused and client-centred work as well as cognitive techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and what online sessions can offer
Attachment-based work pays attention to how early bonds shape relationships now. It helps people notice patterns in closeness and distance and supports changes in how they relate to others. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The therapist provides attentive listening and reflection so people can find their own answers and build confidence. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together; it offers practical tools to test and change unhelpful patterns and manage mood or anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Femi will discuss options with the person and decide together what to try first. That might mean using more than one approach over time, adapting methods to the person's goals and pace in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical access. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when that is preferred. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants a simpler check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, journalling between sessions or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
