How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with long-term health challenges. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. This approach often helps with sleep, anxiety and mood problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions, and can be helpful when intimacy or repeated relationship problems are a central concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Folashade treats therapy as collaborative and will talk through options with clients. Together they set goals and try methods that suit the person’s needs, pace and preferences rather than applying a single model from the start.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow people to connect from different locations. It also lets sessions be tailored for shorter check-ins or longer focused work, depending on what fits around study, work or caregiving commitments.
