Tolulope Elizabeth Fakunle

Tolulope Elizabeth Fakunle is a counsellor registered with the HCPC. She draws on eight years of professional experience to support people facing common life struggles. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps forward rather than jargon. Tolulope uses straightforward language and encourages clients to build on their existing strengths.

Tolulope believes clients are the experts on their own lives. In sessions she listens closely and helps people name what matters to them. She works collaboratively to set realistic goals and find manageable ways to try new behaviours. The emphasis is on small, steady changes that add up over time.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and addictions. She also supports people with relationship and family issues, intimacy concerns, body image and eating-related difficulties. Additional focus areas include parenting strain, caregiver stress, communication problems and life changes like separation or career shifts.

Tolulope draws on several therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, using them in plain terms to help people with symptoms and unhelpful patterns. She also uses person-centred listening to create a space where clients feel heard and understood.

Sessions are conducted in English and Yoruba for people based in the United Kingdom. Prospective clients are asked to use the site process to start therapy and match with Tolulope if she is a suitable fit.

Using different therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take steps that match what matters most. It uses exercises to notice thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behaviour. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding emotions and improving how people connect and communicate, which can help with relationship and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tolulope will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they will decide which methods feel most useful. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as people make progress or face new challenges.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help people manage nerves by meeting from a familiar location and choosing whether to use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote sessions to keep work practical and goal-focused.
