He also helps with stress, parenting pressures, addiction concerns, trauma, intimacy issues and self-esteem. Sessions are available in English and can be arranged with international clients.

Background and approach
He listens to understand and helps people spot patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Together he and the client plan simple steps to try between sessions. Femi draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs.
He uses client-centred listening to prioritise the client’s priorities. He works with attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what fits their day. Evening video appointments are offered from 6:00pm UK time and phone sessions can be arranged throughout the day. Fees vary with location and are paid through a cancellable subscription.
To begin, people select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. After that, sessions are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability and a first meeting is arranged to assess current needs and plan next steps.

Sessions & fees
Approaches you can try online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence how people connect and respond now. It can help when trust, closeness or abandonment fears affect current relationships and intimacy. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard, clarify what they want and find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tries practical changes to thoughts and actions to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together choose or blend methods that suit the issue and the person. This collaborative process is revisited as progress is made and needs change.
Online sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different situations. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and a fuller sense of connection. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short reflections, quick updates between sessions or for people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while working with registered or accredited professionals.
