Bolanle Babatunde
Compassionate integrative counselling for everyday struggles
About Bolanle
Bolanle Babatunde is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationships. She aims to make talking about difficult experiences straightforward and practical. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on finding workable steps to feel better day to day.
Bolanle has a BA (Hons) in Integrative Counselling and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has seven years of experience supporting people through depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with people from a range of cultural and religious backgrounds. She uses an integrative method, which means she draws on different therapy styles and tailors them to each person. In sessions she helps people clarify thoughts and feelings, notice unhelpful thinking patterns and look at how early attachments can affect adult relationships.
The aim is to build clearer choices and steadier emotional responses. Practical tools, reflective conversation and gentle challenge are common parts of her work. Some people come for a short series of sessions to tackle a specific problem.
Others work on longer term themes like self-esteem, chronic stress or family of origin issues. Sessions cover topics such as parenting strain, caregiver stress, communication problems, chronic pain and body image concerns. Bolanle also supports people dealing with abandonment, codependency, commitment issues and career-related stress.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How integrative approaches work online
Bolanle uses an integrative counselling approach, which means she blends techniques from different therapy styles to match a person’s needs. This might include helping someone notice and change unhelpful thinking, building emotional awareness, or exploring how early attachment patterns affect current relationships. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and self-esteem concerns.She also focuses on practical coping strategies and reflective work. Practical strategies might include simple breathing or grounding exercises and short behavioural experiments to test new ways of responding. Reflective work helps people understand patterns that come from family of origin issues, abandonment or attachment wounds. Deciding which mix to use is a shared process - the therapist and client agree on goals and try approaches collaboratively to see what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and use shared exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed communication or want ongoing support between sessions. Together these options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving and other commitments.
