Adenike Oduwusi

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Adenike often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help with intimacy problems, relationship worries and feelings of abandonment.

Client-Centred Therapy is a third strand of her practice, offering a space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports. This method helps people build self-trust and a stronger sense of self-worth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adenike will discuss different methods with each person and decide together what fits best based on goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and may combine elements from several approaches to meet the client’s needs.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text-based messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, while keeping continuity over time.
