About Olubunmi

Olubunmi Jones is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, depression, parenting concerns, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her profile also lists compassion fatigue and issues such as abandonment, family of origin problems, and guilt and shame.

She describes a relational way of working. Sessions focus on building a therapeutic relationship so clients can look at painful parts of themselves with more awareness. Conversations are grounded and straightforward. The aim is to help people reconnect with inner resources that feel blocked by difficult experiences.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening. She also brings in existential questions about meaning and identity when those feel relevant. Mindfulness and narrative elements appear in her work to help people notice patterns and tell their story differently.

Olubunmi has trained to level 6 and integrates different methods when needed. She offers individual and group therapy according to her biography. Practical moments in sessions include noticing how past relationships shape current feelings and naming guilt or shame without judgement.

People who come to her often want to make sense of painful events and find steadier ways to manage them day to day. She invites straightforward conversation about what feels hard and what might help next.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current feelings and reactions. Online conversations can be used to notice patterns in relating, and to name where guilt or shame link to past bonds. This approach is useful for people wanting to understand why certain situations trigger strong emotions.

Client-centred therapy centres the person’s own experience and pace. The therapist listens with an open, non-directive stance and follows what matters most to the client. This style can help when someone needs a steady listener to sort through confusing or painful feelings.

Existential elements bring questions about meaning, responsibility and identity into the conversation. These ideas can help when life changes or grief make someone reevaluate who they are. In online sessions this can involve reflecting on choices and clarifying what matters now.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and adapt the way she works as sessions progress. That decision is collaborative rather than fixed at the start.

The biography does not specify session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and make it easier to have shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the available session lengths and arrangements when you schedule your first appointment.
