Folashade Dada

Folashade Dada is a BACP counsellor who works with adults and young adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She helps with everyday strains like low self-esteem, parenting pressures, grief and career uncertainty. Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people find steps that feel manageable.

She believes therapy is a process of self-discovery rather than a list of fixes. She offers a warm, non-judgemental space and gently challenges clients when that helps them move forward. Sessions focus on uncovering strengths and building useful skills for day-to-day life.

Her style blends different methods to suit each person’s needs. That means using what fits best from approaches such as cognitive behavioural ideas, acceptance and commitment thinking, attachment-informed work and emotion-focused methods. The goal is practical change rather than jargon or theory.

Folashade has four years of clinical experience supporting people through life transitions, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, anger and a wide range of other issues. She also has experience with adoption and foster care topics, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image concerns.

She works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted. To begin, people are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches that translate to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take action towards what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on patterns of thinking and behaviour, and teaches simple tools to change those patterns to reduce symptoms like low mood or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connections, helping people understand patterns in intimacy and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences together and tailor sessions to what suits the person. That collaborative process helps decide which methods to try and how to pace the work.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel, or keep check-ins brief when needed. It also allows people in different locations to work together with a registered or accredited professional and continue therapy around life commitments.
