Fiwasade Onifade, BACP

Fiwasade Onifade is a United Kingdom based therapist with seven years of professional experience who supports people navigating trauma, grief, self-esteem challenges, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and compassion fatigue. She approaches each person with sensitivity and respect, shaping conversations and treatment plans to reflect the individual circumstances, values and goals of the person in therapy.

Her practice places particular emphasis on trauma and abuse recovery, coping with loss, and rebuilding confidence after life changes. Fiwasade works collaboratively to identify practical steps and emotional supports, aiming to empower clients as they move toward a more fulfilling and resilient life. She describes the decision to seek help as an act of courage and commits to offering steady professional support through that process.

Fiwasade holds membership with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts methods to suit each client, taking into account their strengths, needs and preferences. Her practice is focused on helping people find clearer direction, build coping skills and foster long-term well-being.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Fiwasade draws on trauma-informed approaches that focus on safety, stabilization and gradual processing to help people recover from abuse, overwhelming events or dissociation; these methods emphasize understanding how traumatic experiences affect thoughts, emotions and daily functioning and support developing coping strategies that fit the person’s pace and needs. She also uses grief-focused interventions that help people process loss, make meaning and find ways to adapt to life after bereavement or separation, combining emotional support with practical tools for managing difficult moments. Additionally, she offers skills-based work for anxiety and depression that teaches concrete techniques for regulating mood, reducing worry and rebuilding motivation.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Fiwasade collaborates with each client to explore options, test what helps, and adjust the plan based on the client’s goals, preferences and responses to therapy. This shared process aims to find a tailored and effective path forward.

Online therapy with Fiwasade is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access support from home. These flexible options help people engage in consistent, practical treatment while balancing other responsibilities.
