Fiwasade Onifade

Fiwasade Onifade is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with seven years of professional experience. She helps people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety, and life changes. She also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues and compassion fatigue.

Fiwasade keeps conversations straightforward and focused. Sessions centre on identifying what feels stuck and on practical steps that can reduce distress. She adapts how she talks and plans sessions to the person in front of her rather than using one fixed approach.

For people dealing with trauma, she works at a pace that matches how much the client can handle in a session. With grief and loss she helps people make space to remember and to rebuild routines that support daily life. When low mood or anxiety are present, Fiwasade uses clear strategies to manage symptoms and to increase day-to-day functioning.

The counsellor also gives attention to issues that often come with relationships and family history, such as abandonment, family of origin conflicts, infidelity, divorce and separation, and control or commitment worries. She will listen to the facts and help a person weigh options for next steps.

Sessions are conducted in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and practical details. To begin, the site asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Fiwasade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address distress in straightforward terms. One common approach she draws on helps people manage anxiety and depression with practical skills - for example planning small behavioural steps, testing worries, and building manageable routines to reduce overwhelm. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed care, which means slowing the pace, naming reactions connected to past harm, and working on grounding and regulation methods that can reduce sudden spikes in distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different options with each person and decide together which methods match their goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative choice guides how sessions are structured and what to try first.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around other commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in appointments when days are busy. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting during the day or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage more comfortably. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients maintain consistency with therapy while juggling everyday life.
