About Fiwasade
Fiwasade Onifade is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and life transitions. She presents a calm, respectful presence and aims to make hard conversations feel manageable. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical next steps as well as understanding feelings.
With seven years of experience, she adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs and wants to work on. Fiwasade emphasises clear, steady support rather than rushed fixes, and she encourages small achievable goals between meetings.
Her work also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, compassion fatigue, abandonment issues and matters connected to adoption and foster care. She offers help with family of origin difficulties, separation and divorce, and coping after sudden or large-scale hardship.
Fiwasade pays attention to shame, guilt, isolation and the effects of infidelity or domestic violence. She also supports people dealing with immigration challenges and HIV and AIDS related concerns. The focus is on understanding how these issues affect daily life and finding ways to regain stability.
People can expect a sensitive, person-centred approach that balances listening with practical suggestions. The aim is to help clients build confidence, improve coping, and make clearer choices about relationships and life changes.
Approaches that shape online work
Fiwasade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine attentive listening with practical ways to manage symptoms and make changes. One common approach focuses on understanding and processing trauma in small, contained steps so memories and reactions are less overwhelming; this can help with anxiety, dissociation and distress after abuse.Another approach centres on building self-esteem and coping skills through goal-setting and reflective conversation. This helps people regain confidence, manage depression and navigate difficult life events such as separation or adoption-related concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options, try what fits best, and adjust methods based on a person's needs, goals and preferences. Decisions are collaborative and reviewed as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments, have shorter check-ins when needed, or use audio-only options when that better suits someone’s needs. Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is available.
