My speciality as an accredited counsellor in the UK, is using CBT to work with and support young people, families, and couples. I help them to understand their trigger points, and find healthier ways to manage their emotional difficulties and trauma.
I have used my work to support people with a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, low-mood, OCD, PTSD, work difficulties, relationship problems, bereavement, self-harm, suicidal thoughts and much more. I have also, spent a lot of time supporting people who have experienced emotional and physical abuse. My model is professional, holistic, empathic and non-judgemental with a focus on CBT, Person-centered, Humanistic, Integrative and psychodynamic. I listen to clients and treat them with respect. Working with the clients, I devise a strategy that meets their individual needs.
It is my ethos to encourage clients to be happy to focus on their own strengths and start to feel empowered.
I look forward to working with you, and giving you the tools to be in control of your emotions and changing your story.
Additional areas of focus: Adoption and foster care, Commitment issues, Immigration issues, Multicultural concerns, Obsessions, compulsions, and OCD, Postpartum depression, Self-harm, Young adult issues
Clinical approaches: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Adeshalewa is one of the wisest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She asks questions that allow me to develop my own answers to my problems, challenges me in ways that lead to self growth and is naturally compassionate and empathetic, while maintaining such a strong and inspiring presence. One of the best therapists I’ve ever had. Forever grateful for her help.

What I appreciate most is her balanced approach. She listens carefully and provides a comforting presence, but she also knows when to challenge me in ways that encourage growth and deeper reflection.

I really like that she’s very direct and will say things as they are in a realistic yet empathetic way. From the first session I knew that I found a good therapist for me and that is still continuing to prove true I feel a little bit more understood and empowered after each session and I can’t wait to see how my improvement continues through the next sessions

Adeshalewa is the best therapist I've ever had. Not only she listens and tells her opinion with no judgement, but she also sends helpful material whenever I needed. She's highly professional.
