About Fiwasade
Fiwasade Onifade is a counsellor who supports people facing depression, trauma, grief and stress. She works with those struggling with self-esteem, life changes and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Fiwasade presents a calm, respectful approach and aims to create conversations that feel steady and manageable.
She adapts sessions to each person’s needs rather than using a fixed script. That means practical talking, setting small goals and checking what helps between meetings.
Background and approach
Fiwasade emphasises sensitivity and compassion while encouraging steps that build confidence and motivation. Her practice draws on seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and she is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This background shapes how she plans sessions and thinks about progress over time.
People can expect straightforward work on topics such as abandonment, family of origin issues, divorce and separation, domestic violence and isolation or loneliness. Fiwasade also helps people dealing with guilt and shame, forgiveness, immigration-related stress and compassion fatigue. She offers conversation-led sessions that aim to make big problems feel more manageable.
The focus is on practical coping, clearer choices and small changes that add up. Fiwasade supports each person to identify what they most want to work on and to try approaches that fit their life and goals.

Online support
Another approach involves grief-focused support, which helps people make sense of loss and find manageable ways to carry on. This work often uses paced conversations, memory work and small tasks between sessions to support day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals and preferences, and will adjust plans as progress is seen. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online formats offer real flexibility and can fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when needed. Phone sessions can be useful when video is difficult or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coaching between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people maintain continuity and access support in ways that work with their routine.
