Folashade Dada
Compassionate counsellor blending practical therapy approaches
About Folashade
Folashade Dada is a counsellor registered with the BACP who offers short- and longer-term work for adults and young adults. She focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and life changes. Folashade speaks English and accepts international clients, and she brings a calm, curious presence to sessions.
Folashade uses a mix of approaches to suit each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, emotionally-focused ideas, and attachment-based perspectives to help people understand their patterns.
Background and approach
Her aim is to help clients notice what matters to them and build small, practical steps towards those values. In sessions she balances warm listening with gentle challenge. Conversations centre on what is happening now and what someone wants to change.
Practical tools for coping with sleep problems, stress, anger and low self-esteem are offered alongside space to talk about grief, parenting strain, career concerns or chronic health struggles. She also works with issues linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, body image, codependency, communication and commitment worries.
Folashade adapts methods so they fit each person’s situation and pace, rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Sessions are organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small actions towards those values. It encourages skills for living with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to push them away. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical tools for changing unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist works collaboratively to figure that out. She will talk through goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and review how they are working as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible options that fit around daily life. Video calls are useful for in-depth work and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging suit brief reflections or people who prefer typing. These formats make it simpler to arrange regular sessions despite busy schedules or travel constraints and still benefit from structured therapeutic support.
