About Kemi
Kemi Folarin is a counsellor who uses an integrative approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings and life changes. He combines Person-Centred ideas with psychodynamic thinking to focus on what matters to each person. Sessions are client-led and paced to suit individual needs.
He aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly and feel heard. In practice Kemi listens for repeating patterns and the feelings behind them.
Background and approach
He helps people build self-awareness so they can decide what they want to change. Conversations often move between practical steps and understanding deeper emotional themes. This mix is useful for concerns like anxiety, stress, low mood and depression.
He also supports people facing relationship strain, workplace difficulties, addiction concerns, grief and coping with life transitions. Kemi’s background includes running a charity that worked with children, young people and the wider community from 2007. He holds a degree in Psychology and Sociology and a Masters in Youth and Community.
Kemi is the author of The Best H.E.L.P Book, which draws on holistic examples of learned practice. He encourages clients to try small, realistic changes and to notice their inner strengths. The overall aim is clearer choices, improved self-esteem and more ability to move forward.
Sessions are offered in English and available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Kemi uses a friendly, steady style and works collaboratively to identify practical next steps and build longer term insight.

Approaches Kemi lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods that fit the person and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping decisions collaborative and practical.
Online sessions offer flexible options - video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or when being on camera isn’t preferred, and live chat or text messaging for short check-ins and ongoing support. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy around work, study or family life and let people choose what works best for them.
