Foluso Orebiyi , BACP

Foluso Orebiyi is a UK-licensed integrative counsellor with 13 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through emotional challenges, crises, and life transitions. Her practice is grounded in person-centred, non-directive principles that prioritize a respectful, open space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment.

She specialises in stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem and motivation difficulties, addictions, grief, parenting and family concerns, sleep problems, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, attachment and communication difficulties, neurodiversity, codependency, chronic illness and disability, blended family issues, body image, and recovery from natural or human-caused disasters.

Foluso’s work is informed by shadow work and Jungian analytic traditions, guiding clients to reconnect with their inner child and integrate disowned parts of the self to build emotional resilience. She also uses motivational interviewing and coaching techniques to help clients move from survival mode toward self-leadership, and offers coaching and mentoring to explore life and career direction, including reflection on ikigai - the intersection of passion, strengths, and values. Foluso is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and offers support in English and Yoruba.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters to them and develop practical skills to act in line with those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. It is often used for anxiety, stress, low motivation, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. This approach can be helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and healing from relational wounds.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasizes empathy, non-directive listening, and respect, creating a supportive environment for exploring emotions and building self-understanding. It can benefit those facing depression, low self-esteem, grief, and identity or life-direction questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Foluso works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adapting methods over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexible ways to access care from home or elsewhere. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or travel and allow ongoing support for clients who live at a distance or have mobility constraints. Licensed therapists can use these tools to deliver regular, effective therapeutic work while accommodating each client’s practical needs.
