Adenike Oduwusi, BACP, NCPS

Adenike often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression and life changes. She also works with attachment-based ideas to understand how early relationships shape current patterns and to rebuild safer ways of relating. Narrative therapy is another tool she uses to help people retell difficult experiences and find new meanings in their lives.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Adenike will talk with clients about their needs and preferences and choose methods that suit their goals. The process is collaborative and aims to find practical, personalised ways forward rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow fuller interaction when wanting face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
