About me
As a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I know how daunting looking for the right therapist can be. You may be facing difficulties that are just to big to manage on your own. Anxiety that won't switch off, difficult relationships, trouble sleeping. If you're looking for an anxiety and relationship therapist, please get in touch. Together we can help you reconnect with who you are to a life that feels balanced and more like yours.
Using an integrative approach, I support individuals struggling with anxiety, loneliness, relationship difficulties, family issues, affairs and betrayals, low self-confidence, ADHD, trauma, bereavement, infertility and other painful life events.
My aim is to listen attentively and create sessions where you feel safe enough to talk about what's really going on.
Anxiety and overwhelm
" I'm exhausted from holding everything together"
" My anxiety is affecting my work"
" I don't recognise myself anymore"
" I can't switch off"
You may hold it together for everyone else. But who holds space for you?
Perhaps you are someone carrying the weight of responsibility, appearing capable on the outside, yet struggling on the inside. Experiencing racing thoughts, tightness in your chest, difficulty switching off. Overthinking and self-doubt, second-guessing every decision. Replaying conversations or feeling like a fraud despite your track record.
Trauma and disconnection
It's possible that you have a flatness you can't shake. Feeling disconnected. Going through the motions or feeling hopeless and alone even when you're not.
Relationship problems
This includes communication that's broken down, affairs and betrayal, distance from a partner, patterns you keep repeating or conflict that never seems to resolve.
Life transitions
As we move through seasons, career changes, retirement, redundancy, separation, divorce, bereavement, becoming a parent or infertility. The moments when everything shifts and the ground feels unsteady.
Complex emotions and burnout
You could be feeling a type of exhaustion that rest doesn't fix. The creeping feeling you've lost yourself somewhere along the way and don't know who you are beyond work.
Low Self-Confidence
People pleasing, often saying Yes when you really mean to say NO and resenting yourself or others for it.
Clients often describe me as a "steady guide, warm and practical".
I recognise that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I draw on a range of evidence based therapeutic approaches such as psychodynamic and attachment-based methods, alongside person-centred, gestalt, transactional analysis, existential and solution-focused approaches.
I believe we're all wired differently, and that our life experiences, relationships, culture and personal history can also influence how easy or difficult it feels to ask for help, receive support or make sense of what we are going through.
You may have been pushing through for months or years, telling yourself it's just how life is. It doesn't have to be. Whatever you're facing, belongs here. I offer a safe and supportive space to help you process your experiences, develop greater self-awareness, and move beyond simply surviving towards living a more fulfilling life.
If this resonates, I might just be the therapist for you.
I offer a free 20 minute introductory consultation online or by phone. During this call, we will talk about what brings you to therapy, how therapy can help and questions you may have. You can easily book a convenient time here. Alternatively, please call me on 07508 876 531 or send me email.
Counselling in Weybridge for clients across Surrey and online across the UK.
Testimonials
Adeola is generous, human, warm and grounded. She took the time to hear what was troubling me. I instantly felt comfortable speaking to her..I was able to steer the counselling to a way that works for me...At the end of sessions, we recap the most helpful talking points, which is a great way to lock in what I've learnt - E.H
----
Adeola was fantastic and I felt supported throughout all the sessions.- T.A
----
Each session gave me space to reflect, gain clarity and set meaningful goals. Thank you for being a steady presence - A.I.O
I also welcome sessions to reflect on your faith and spirituality where that's helpful to you as I believe it's important to bring all your parts including what might be an anchor for hope or what might be causing confusion and distress.
Choosing the right counsellor is an important decision. That's why I offer a complimentary introductory consultation. No pressure, no commitment, just a brief and honest conversation to see how counselling can genuinely help you.
I work online with clients in the UK and abroad. I also provide face-to-face and online sessions with clients in Weybridge and the Surrey area.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Further information
If we decide to work together, sessions last 50 minutes online or on the phone and face-to-face sessions in Weybridge. I work weekdays, daytime and evenings and I'm happy to work around your schedule where I can, which might include weekends.
My core belief is in understanding that there's an innate desire for most human beings to love and be loved and when this connection is missing, emotional distress often occurs.
My approach isn't about quick fixes. It's about understanding root causes behind patterns and emotional reactions. Gaining clarity, self awareness, confidence, authenticity and emotional resilience in responding to life's challenges and experiencing healthier relationships.
Often clients begin to notice a shift in how they feel within the first few weeks.
