About Folashade

Folashade Dada is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with adults and young adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem problems and the stress of life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strains, sleeping problems and intimacy-related concerns.

Her work often addresses attachment and relationship patterns. She uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice what matters most to them. Sessions focus on practical steps, not abstract theory, so clients leave with things to try between meetings.

Folashade describes her style as client-centred and adaptable. She combines listening with gentle challenge, helping people spot strengths they already have and build coping skills. This can include looking at communication habits, setting boundaries, and managing strong emotions like anger.

She also responds to a wide range of concerns such as adoption and foster care issues, attachment worries, body image, chronic illness and caregiver stress. Her background covers relationship work including pre-marital and marriage concerns, plus career and academic pressures.

Sessions are conducted in English and Folashade accepts international clients. If someone wants to begin, they are invited to use the site booking flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It is useful for people who feel stuck or unsure what matters next. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns shape adult relationships and can help people working through intimacy and parenting difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Folashade aims to explore different methods with clients and decide together which fits best. That decision is based on a person’s goals, the issues they bring and their preferences for how they want to work in sessions.

The biography does not specify exact online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and keep check-ins shorter when needed. They also allow people to work from whatever quieter surroundings suit them and to attend sessions while based outside the UK if that suits their situation.
