Fiwasade Onifade

Fiwasade Onifade is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety and stress. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy-related concerns and people coping with life changes.

She brings seven years of professional experience and is a BACP member, which is listed as her credential. Fiwasade aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she adapts conversations to each person’s needs.

In sessions she helps clients talk through painful events and find ways to manage strong emotions. She focuses on practical steps that can ease day-to-day distress, such as coping tools for anxiety and actions that rebuild confidence.

Fiwasade is also experienced supporting people with issues linked to abandonment, adoption and foster care, dissociation, domestic violence and family of origin problems. She works with concerns like guilt, shame, forgiveness, infidelity and isolation as well.

Her approach is collaborative: she and the client shape a plan together. That plan is reviewed and adjusted as needed, with the aim of helping people feel more able to cope and move forward.

To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule a session according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Many of the evidence-based techniques Fiwasade uses focus on talking things through and developing new ways to cope. One common approach involves identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. This can help with depression, worry and low self-esteem.

Another useful method addresses trauma-related reactions by carefully working through distressing memories and their effects on daily life. This aims to reduce overwhelming symptoms and improve the ability to manage triggers and dissociation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to what matters most, discuss options, and agree a plan that fits the client's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family time and avoiding travel. Online appointments can make it easier to attend shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions when life is busy. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current session options before booking to make sure they suit your needs.
