About Bolade
Bolade Jumbo is a person-centred counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has 12 years of overall experience and has spent several years working with young adults. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly about what matters to them.
She focuses on what each person brings to the room and follows the client’s lead when deciding counselling goals.
Background and approach
Conversations are guided by empathy and respect, with attention to building self-worth and clearer communication. Bolade says small steps add up, and she works alongside people as they try out new choices. Her practice includes work on anxiety, stress, depression and relationship concerns, and she supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy issues and parental pressures.
Additional areas she pays attention to include attachment and abandonment wounds, self-harm, loneliness and issues around identity and self-esteem. LGBT concerns are listed among her focus areas. Bolade uses client-centred methods alongside mindfulness approaches and motivational interviewing.
She has three years of experience delivering therapy online, which she adapted to during the pandemic. Sessions aim to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and practise different responses in daily life. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba, and she accepts international clients.
The counselling subscription model she uses can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches Bolade lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Bolade uses client-centred therapy and mindfulness and also draws on motivational interviewing techniques. Client-centred therapy means the client’s own priorities guide sessions and the counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection to help the person find their own solutions. Mindfulness work focuses on noticing thoughts and bodily feelings in the moment, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems and emotional overwhelm. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way to explore a person’s mixed feelings about change and to strengthen their own reasons for taking small steps forward.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Bolade will check in about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques over time. The process is collaborative and pace is set by the client’s needs.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Bolade has three years of experience working online since the pandemic and has used that time to help people fit therapy into busy schedules. Online work can make it easier to attend from different locations, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements and timing when you book to make sessions fit into everyday life.
