About Abolanle
Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people work through a wide range of concerns, including anger, stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She speaks English and Yoruba and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk honestly about what is hard for them.
Bola uses a client-centred, collaborative style. She encourages people to notice patterns in their thinking and behaviour and to build on their own strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking so daily life feels more manageable.
Her approach draws on several therapeutic methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. These methods are used to help with emotions, coping skills and rebuilding relationships with self and others.
With five years' experience and the qualification NCPS, Bola supports people through loss, trauma, addiction, anger, eating or sleeping problems, bipolar and depression, career strain and many kinds of life change. She also addresses attachment and family of origin issues, communication and commitment concerns, infidelity and immigration-related stress.
Bola stresses that therapy takes commitment and effort from the person who attends. She offers a steady, patient presence while encouraging small risks that can lead to clearer self-understanding and better emotional regulation. Over time clients often gain practical tools and a stronger sense of control.

Therapeutic approaches and remote support
Abolanle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and encourages action that matches personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting, which can help with intimacy, trust and family of origin issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods to suit what feels most helpful for you. This is a collaborative way to test what works and adjust over time.
The practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting counselling into a busy day and keeping continuity during life changes. If you are interested in online options, please confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to check in quickly between commitments, avoid travel, and use shorter sessions when that fits your schedule.
