Foluso Orebiyi , BACP

Foluso Orebiyi is a UK-licensed Integrative Counsellor with more than 13 years of experience supporting individuals and couples through emotional challenges, crises, and life changes. She works from a person-centred, non-directive stance that invites clients to explore their thoughts and feelings in a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Foluso aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs while encouraging agency and self-understanding.

She specialises in areas including stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, adverse childhood experiences, depression, relational wounds and sexual abuse, as well as motivation, self-esteem and confidence challenges. Her practice also addresses a wide range of concerns such as relationship issues, grief, parenting, career questions, addictions, bipolar difficulties, ADHD, burnout and compassion fatigue, and other life transitions.

Her clinical work is informed by Jungian analytic traditions and shadow work, guiding people to reconnect with their inner child and integrate disowned parts of the self to build emotional resilience. Foluso also draws on motivational interviewing and coaching techniques to support clients in shifting from survival mode into greater self-leadership and purpose. She offers coaching and mentoring for those seeking clarity in career or life direction, including exploration of Ikigai - your reason for being - to align passions, strengths and values with meaningful next steps.

As a BACP member - a professional association for counsellors in the United Kingdom - Foluso frames therapy as an act of self-honouring and offers a steady, collaborative presence for those ready to begin the work.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Foluso uses client-centred therapy to create an accepting, non-directive environment where the client’s perspective guides the pace and focus of sessions - this approach supports people working through self-esteem, grief, relationship issues and general emotional overwhelm. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her toolkit; ACT encourages practical acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while helping clients commit to actions that align with their values, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy informs work with relational wounds and trauma by exploring patterns formed in early relationships and supporting new, healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Foluso collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences and life circumstances, adjusting the approach as progress unfolds. The aim is shared decision-making and a tailored plan that feels manageable and meaningful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone appointments, and additional support can be provided via live chat or text-based messaging when required. This range of options helps people access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations and at times that suit busy lives, making consistent care more achievable.
