Bolade Jumbo, BACP

Bolade Jumbo is a person-centered counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work, including more than six years supporting young adults and three years delivering therapy online during the pandemic. Bolade offers a warm, interactive style rooted in sensitivity and compassion, and she aims to work without stigmatizing labels while honouring diversity and individual differences.

Her approach is client-led, allowing each person to set the focus and pace of therapy while she provides empathic understanding, encouragement, and attentive listening. She supports people struggling with issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress, self-harm, and education-related distress, and she works with relationship, family and parenting concerns as well as intimacy and trauma-related difficulties. Bolade helps clients build greater self-acceptance, resilience, and confidence, and she focuses on improving communication and practical steps toward the goals that matter most to each person.

Based in the United Kingdom, Bolade works in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients. Her practice is collaborative and nonjudgmental, guided by respect and a commitment to helping clients take the first small steps toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Bolade uses client-centered therapy to place the client at the heart of the process, offering a non-directive, empathic environment where individuals set the focus and pace of their work; this approach is helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and feelings of isolation. She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to help people develop present-moment awareness and practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions. Motivational interviewing is another tool she draws on to support people who want to make changes but feel ambivalent - it helps clarify goals and strengthen personal motivation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Bolade works together with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses so the approach remains practical and client-focused.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to schedule support around work, family, and other commitments. For many clients, remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care and engage in therapy from locations that suit them, while working with registered professionals and therapists who can tailor the experience to individual needs.
