Folashade Dada, BACP

Folashade Dada uses an integrative, person-centred style to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and low self-esteem. She recognises that change can feel hard and meets each person with empathy and practical support. Folashade draws on several therapeutic methods to suit what a person needs in the moment. She works with adults and young adults and offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom.

Her practice focuses on common life challenges such as coping with change, grief, sleep problems and career pressures. Relationship and intimacy-related issues are a regular focus, along with parenting concerns and anger management. She also gives attention to longer-term themes like attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and challenges connected to chronic illness or caregiver stress.

Folashade blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred ways of working. That means she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small practical steps, and connect with their values. Sessions are designed to be direct but compassionate, with space for reflection and skill practice.

She holds BACP accreditation, which indicates adherence to that professional body’s standards. Folashade has four years of clinical experience supporting people through anxiety, depression and life transitions. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

People usually begin by completing a short questionnaire and then scheduling sessions. Therapy arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioural experiments to shift mood and routine. This approach often helps with sleep problems, low mood and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people build more secure ways of relating, which can aid intimacy and communication struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Folashade will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences. She adjusts methods over time, checking in about what helps and what feels unhelpful so the plan can change together.

Online sessions give flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people work in shorter bursts and keep a written record of reflections and tasks. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel while still working through the same therapeutic approaches.
