Temitope Adeshina, BACP

Temitope Adeshina is a BACP-registered psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience supporting young people and adults through periods of stress, anxiety, grief, school-related emotional challenges, life transitions, and identity exploration. She has worked across a range of settings including mental health agencies, a grief agency, and school environments, gaining experience with people from diverse backgrounds and life situations.

Temitope understands that close relationships, family systems, and life circumstances shape how people think, feel, and respond. Her practice reflects respect for each person’s story and a commitment to meeting clients where they are, offering a nonjudgmental and empathetic therapeutic presence. She draws on an integrative approach that includes client-centered principles rooted in Humanistic therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and mindfulness-informed practices to build present-moment awareness.

Sessions are tailored to the individual’s needs, whether the goal is relief from symptoms, greater clarity, personal growth, or practical change. Temitope focuses on building a collaborative relationship that helps clients explore attachment patterns, family dynamics, self-esteem and coping strategies for life changes. She offers support for a wide range of concerns including parenting and family issues, abandonment and attachment-related difficulties, caregiver stress, body image, and relationship challenges, working with clients in English and Yoruba.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Temitope uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of relating - this approach can help with attachment concerns, relationship difficulties, and feelings of abandonment by offering a way to understand emotional bonds and their impact. She also works from a Client-Centered perspective, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting the person’s own goals; this approach is useful for building self-esteem, processing life transitions, and fostering personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core tool in her practice, offering practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, stress, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Temitope treats that choice as collaborative. She will work with clients to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods over time so the work fits the individual.

Online therapy with Temitope is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while adapting to geographic constraints, work commitments, or personal responsibilities, allowing clients to access consistent, professional support in ways that suit their lives.
