About Temitope
Counsellor and member of BACP with four years of professional experience, Temitope Adeshina supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem issues and coping with life changes. She works in the United Kingdom and uses several therapeutic approaches to help people make sense of difficult moments.
Temitope has worked in mental health agencies, a grief agency and in school settings. She has experience talking with people about grief, school-based emotions, identity and life transitions. Her background means she understands how different settings can shape the problems people bring to counselling.
Her practice is integrative. She draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and elements of psychodynamic and attachment-informed work. Sessions focus on what the person brings each week, with practical steps where useful and space to reflect on patterns that repeat over time.
Temitope pays attention to the role of relationships and family history in how people feel today. She helps people look at their thoughts, behaviours and close relationships to find clearer ways forward. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba for those who prefer either language.
People who contact her can expect straightforward conversation about goals and next steps. Her background includes work with young people and adults in institutional and community settings, which informs a practical, down-to-earth approach to counselling.
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Temitope uses client-centred work, which focuses on listening and helping people lead the direction of the sessions. This approach suits people who want space to make sense of their feelings and decide their own next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, stress and low mood through structured techniques and exercises.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Temitope will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and together you can decide which approaches to use. That decision is reviewed as you go, so the plan can change if needed.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, such as by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day. Discuss practical needs at the first meeting so sessions can be arranged to suit work, family and other commitments.
