About Abolanle
Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba offers calm, direct support for people worried about sleep and other life strains. She aims to make the first steps simple and clear. Bola meets people where they are and helps them talk through what keeps them awake, anxious, or stuck.
Bola is a counsellor registered with NCPS. She uses a gentle, client-centred style that focuses on what matters to each person. Sessions are collaborative - she listens first, then helps set small goals that fit everyday life.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and challenges around sleep. She also supports people dealing with relationship problems, family of origin issues, and life changes such as separation or immigration concerns. Issues like anger, low self-esteem, attachment worries and caregiver stress are also part of her practice.
Bola draws on a few different approaches to suit each person. She may use elements of cognitive behavioural techniques to spot patterns, acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values, and attachment-based perspectives to look at how early relationships affect current feelings. The emphasis is on practical steps and building on strengths.
Working with Bola often means learning small strategies to manage emotions and improve daily routines. She encourages commitment to the process and helps people build their own coping skills. To begin, users follow the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule sessions.
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba draws on approaches that work well in a talking therapy setting. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical ways to change behaviour and routines that affect sleep and mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and learning small acceptance and action steps to reduce struggle with difficult feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating to themselves and others. Each approach offers tools that can be practised between sessions, such as simple routines, grounding exercises and behaviour experiments for sleep and daily stress. Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and practical needs and suggest what might suit best. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as work progresses. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a break, or avoid being on camera when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods so therapy fits everyday life rather than the other way around.Areas of expertise
