Fiwasade Onifade, BACP

Fiwasade Onifade helps people who are struggling with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, family concerns, and compassion fatigue. Fiwasade writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to make conversations feel safe and respectful.

She works by tailoring the dialogue and the plan to each person. Sessions focus on clear steps you can take between meetings as well as what you want to change in day-to-day life. The emphasis is on practical support, steady progress and building confidence to manage difficult emotions.

Fiwasade brings seven years of professional experience to her work and holds BACP registration. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to fit the needs of each person she sees. This means the work is informed by approaches with good research behind them, and then shaped around you.

People come to her for many concerns including abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence, dissociation, immigration-related stress and HIV / AIDS related challenges. She also helps with feelings of guilt and shame, isolation and coping after disasters.

Her style is compassionate and down-to-earth. The first sessions usually cover the immediate problems and practical steps to reduce pressure. From there she and the client plan what to focus on next, working at a pace that suits the person.

How evidence-based techniques work in online therapy

Fiwasade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage strong emotions and rebuild confidence. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns so they feel less overwhelmed and can make clearer choices about everyday life. Another approach concentrates on processing traumatic memories and learning ways to reduce flashbacks or intense distress, helping people feel steadier over time.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Fiwasade will discuss different options with you and decide together which methods fit your goals, needs and preferences. She adapts techniques to match how you prefer to work and what feels most helpful for you.

Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions around a busy day and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep consistent appointments and to check in between meetings when needed. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking to make sure they fit your routine.
