Fiwasade Onifade
Compassionate support for trauma and life change
About Fiwasade
Fiwasade Onifade helps people who are struggling with trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, family concerns, compassion fatigue and major life changes. Fiwasade works in English and practises from the United Kingdom.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She aims to understand what matters most to each person and then shapes conversations and a plan around those needs.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and focused on small, manageable steps as well as exploring deeper feelings when that is helpful. Fiwasade draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address issues such as trauma, grief, guilt and shame, and dissociation.
She also offers support for people facing abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, immigration challenges, HIV/AIDS related concerns, or the effects of domestic violence and separation. She values sensitivity and compassion and encourages people to move at a pace that feels right for them. Fiwasade aims to empower clients to build confidence and better cope with stressors in daily life.
Working with her involves a mix of talking, practical coping strategies and reflection. The goal is to help people find clearer ways to manage emotions, rebuild routines and make decisions that feel healthier for them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support
Fiwasade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach helps people process traumatic memories and their emotional impact by working through symptoms step by step and developing coping tools to reduce distress. Another approach concentrates on mood and motivation, using structured conversation and simple behavioural strategies to rebuild routine, energy and self-esteem.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful, check your goals and adapt methods as you progress. Work is paced to match your needs and preferences rather than following a fixed script.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you have richer face-to-face conversations, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
