About Abolanle
Abolanle (Bola) Aloluwaloba offers practical, down-to-earth support for people facing stressful life moments. She helps clients untangle difficult feelings and make small changes that improve daily life. Sessions are calm and collaborative, with a focus on what matters most to each person.
Bola works in English and Yoruba and is based in the United Kingdom. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help people understand and shift strong emotions that drive their choices.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ways of working to help clients live by their values and repair patterns that cause pain. Bola aims to make therapy straightforward. Conversations focus on what is happening now, how feelings show up in the body, and practical steps to try between sessions.
She encourages small experiments to test new ways of coping and relating, rather than long lists of theory. Her background includes five years of professional practice and registration with NCPS. That experience has included supporting people through anxiety, depression, loss, addiction issues, parenting stress, burnout and grief.
She adapts the approach to each person’s situation and goals. Sessions can include talking, emotion-focused exercises and skill-based work from cognitive and acceptance-based therapies. Bola expects the person coming to therapy to play an active part in the process while she offers steady guidance.
This keeps work focused and practical. People who book with Bola typically want clear, realistic steps they can use between sessions. The emphasis is on building insight, strengthening self-trust and finding ways to manage intense feelings so life feels more manageable over time.

Online support
How emotion-focused and acceptance-based approaches work online
Abolanle uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people recognise and work with strong emotions that influence behaviour and relationships. EFT focuses on the here-and-now of feelings and helps people shift unhelpful patterns that cause distress.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without fighting them and to commit to actions that reflect what matters most. Attachment-informed work looks at how early connection styles affect current relationships and helps people build safer ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Bola will explore goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative choice is reviewed as work proceeds to make sure it still fits the person's needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow visual connection for emotion-focused work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel while still using the same therapeutic methods.
