Bolanle Babatunde, BACP

Bolanle Babatunde meets people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or uncertain about their next steps. She aims to make it easier to talk about worries and spot patterns that keep repeating. Bolanle uses plain language and a calm approach to help people work through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship concerns.

Bolanle has a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has practised as a counsellor for seven years and draws on that experience when planning sessions.

Her way of working is integrative, which means she draws on several different therapy techniques and adapts them to what each person needs. Sessions focus on identifying how early attachments might influence present relationships, noticing thought and feeling patterns, and trying new ways of responding to difficult situations.

People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including depression, low self-esteem, addiction issues, trauma and abuse, family problems, parenting stress, chronic pain or illness, and career-related worries. She has also worked with issues such as abandonment, body image, codependency and communication difficulties.

Bolanle has experience supporting men and women from varied ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds. She aims to help people make clearer choices and to build practical ways of coping that fit day-to-day life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair a person with the right therapist and schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Integrative counselling combines elements from different evidence-based techniques so the work fits the person. For example, focusing on attachment-related patterns looks at how early relationships shape current responses and helps when people notice repeating relationship problems or feelings of abandonment. Another common strand is cognitive-style work which helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practise alternative ways of thinking to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means techniques can change as progress is made or new challenges appear.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life, avoiding travel time and making it easier to join from different locations. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm current options before booking. In general, working with registered or accredited professionals online lets people access regular appointments, shorter check-ins when needed and continuity of care when circumstances change.
