Oluwatominsin Anne 'Tominsin' Aweda-Okondo, NCPS

Oluwatominsin Anne "Tominsin" Aweda-Okondo is a final-year doctoral student in counselling psychology and psychotherapy who practices with an integrative approach grounded in humanistic values. She offers an empathetic, non-judgmental space where clients are met with respect for their lived experience and invited into collaborative work toward meaningful change.

Tominsin has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression, and she also supports clients dealing with communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, questions about life purpose, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. She approaches each person as the expert of their own story, helping them build on existing strengths to navigate challenges and move toward greater wellbeing.

Tominsin holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling designation, and offers therapy in English and Yoruba. Based in the United Kingdom, she accepts international clients and provides flexible session formats to suit different needs. She frames the decision to seek help as a courageous first step and positions herself as a supportive partner throughout the therapeutic process.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care

Tominsin works from an integrative framework that blends humanistic principles with evidence-informed techniques. The integrative approach means she draws on a range of methods tailored to each person - focusing on strengths, personal values, and practical strategies to address stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and depressive symptoms. The humanistic foundation emphasizes empathy, collaboration, and respect for the client as the expert of their own life, helping people explore meaning, self-worth, and connection.

She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in ways that fit the individual, applying approaches that are shown to help with trauma responses, low self-esteem, and social anxiety while remaining adaptable to each client’s needs. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - she will work with clients to identify goals, try different methods when needed, and adjust the plan based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access a registered professional from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity of care across distances, and support a range of communication preferences so clients can engage in the way that suits them best.
