Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba

Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba is a qualified counsellor practising in the United Kingdom who offers a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for people seeking support. With a focus on helping clients access and understand the less conscious parts of their thinking, feelings and behaviour, she works to bring clarity to difficulties that can feel overwhelming.

There are many reasons people seek counselling, and Abolanle supports work around bereavement and loss, anxiety and fear, major life changes such as divorce or redundancy, relationship difficulties, and past or current abuse including sexual, physical, mental or financial harm. She also addresses confidence and self-esteem issues, addictions, depression and eating disorders.

Her role is to help clients gain perspective so they can build healthier relationships with themselves and others and better manage both their internal and external worlds. Over time clients develop insights that increase their sense of control and trust in their own strengths and resources, enabling the changes needed to improve wellbeing.

Abolanle practices in a client-centred and collaborative manner and adapts counselling approaches to meet each person�s needs. She emphasises the client�s commitment to the therapeutic process, recognising that the individual is the author of their own experience. There can be challenging moments as difficult or avoided parts of the self are explored, but when those risks are taken within the therapeutic space they can lead to deeper self-understanding and a more meaningful life.
