About Abolanle
Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as anger, parenting, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba. Bola emphasises practical change and clearer thinking rather than labels or quick fixes.
Bola uses a collaborative, client-centred way of working. She helps people notice patterns in thinking, feeling and behaviour that keep problems running. Clients often explore things like past hurt, attachment wounds, and how stress or loss shows up in everyday life.
Her approach draws on several methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy. These tools are used to build skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and making values-based choices. Sessions are conversational and focussed on concrete steps between meetings.
Bola emphasises the person's commitment to the work. She supports people to test new ways of responding to anger, resentment or overwhelm. That might include practising grounding, shifting unhelpful thinking, or learning to recognise attachment patterns that influence reactions.
Practical goals are set together so progress can be reviewed. People who want a structured plan for handling temper, stress or relational tension will find a straightforward, skills-based focus in her sessions.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on spotting values and taking small committed steps towards them while learning to live with difficult feelings. It helps with anger that comes from frustration or unmet expectations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives clear strategies to interrupt unhelpful patterns like snapping or rumination. Attachment-Based Therapy examines early relationship patterns that shape how people react to closeness, rejection or loss and can help explain repeated anger responses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Bola will talk with the client about their story, goals and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practise skills between meetings where they normally encounter frustrating situations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for remote sessions, and Bola uses techniques that translate well to an online setting to focus on emotion regulation, communication skills and behaviour change.
