Bolade Jumbo, BACP

Bolade Jumbo is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 12 years of experience and has spent time supporting young adults and other people through anxiety, stress and relationship concerns. Her manner is warm, interactive and non-judgemental. She aims to help people take small steps toward greater self-worth and better day-to-day coping.

Bolade works in a way that lets the client lead the work. She listens closely and offers encouragement, acceptance and practical suggestions when they are wanted. Sessions focus on what each person says matters most, whether that is low self-esteem, depression, stress, or more specific issues like jealousy or intimacy-related worries.

She draws on client-centred approaches alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Mindfulness exercises can help with restless thoughts and sleep problems. Motivational interviewing helps people find reasons and small goals to make change feel manageable.

Bolade says therapy is a collaborative process. She aims to help people build confidence, improve communication and feel a stronger sense of belonging. Her style avoids labels and treats each person as an individual with their own pace.

She has practised online for several years and supports clients in English and Yoruba. People interested in starting are asked to use the continue button on this profile and complete the short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what is said, helping people feel heard and understood. This approach can suit relationship worries, low self-esteem and feelings of emptiness.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgement. It can help with anxiety, restless thinking and sleep problems by teaching short attention practices people can use day to day.

Motivational Interviewing involves gentle conversation to help someone find their own reasons for change. It breaks goals into small, achievable steps and can be useful for issues such as self-harm urges, low motivation or making life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to what helps most. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted over time based on progress and comfort.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows continuity when people move between places or live abroad, though the specific session formats should be confirmed before booking. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements, timing and how to shape sessions to fit everyday life.
