Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba, NCPS

Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba is a qualified counsellor who offers a non-judgemental and supportive space for people to explore the less conscious parts of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. She holds NCPS, a recognised professional counselling credential that reflects her training and commitment to practice. Bola works with people facing a wide range of concerns, including bereavement and loss, anxiety and fear, life changes such as divorce or redundancy, relationship difficulties, past or present abuse of a sexual, physical, mental, or financial nature, low confidence and self-esteem, addictions, depression, and eating disorders.

Her role is to help clients gain clarity and perspective so they can develop healthier relationships with themselves and others and better manage both internal and external challenges. Through a collaborative, client-centred approach she draws on different counselling methods to suit each person’s needs, emphasising the client’s active commitment to the therapeutic process. Over time clients work toward greater self-awareness and a stronger sense of their own resources, enabling meaningful change.

Bola recognises that therapy can sometimes be demanding as it touches on difficult or avoided parts of experience, but she believes that when people are willing to engage, the work often brings deeper understanding and renewed purpose.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical skills for living a meaningful life even when painful thoughts or feelings arise. It is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness, trust, and emotional regulation. It can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment or attachment concerns, and issues that stem from family-of-origin dynamics.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, with the therapist offering empathy, acceptance, and encouragement so clients can explore and make their own choices. This approach supports growth in areas such as self-esteem, confidence, and relational problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is best decided collaboratively. Registered professionals and therapists will work with clients to identify goals, try different methods when needed, and adapt the work to individual needs and preferences.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and access support from a distance while still working with a trained therapist.
