Olubunmi Jones, BACP

Olubunmi Jones is a BACP counsellor with four years of clinical experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. Her way of working is relational and practical, aimed at helping people get back to everyday life.

She believes most people have inner resources for healing but sometimes life makes those resources hard to reach. In session she focuses on building a trusting relationship so clients can talk about painful or difficult parts of themselves. That relationship becomes the starting point for understanding what is happening now and what might help next.

Her practice addresses a range of concerns including sleeping problems, parenting strain, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also offers support around trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue and complex feelings like guilt or shame. Olubunmi pays attention to how past attachment experiences can shape present reactions and relationships.

Olubunmi draws on client-centred and attachment-based ideas alongside existential and narrative perspectives. She uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress in the moment. Sessions aim to be clear and down to earth, focusing on what clients want to change and small steps they can try between meetings.

People who prefer a collaborative, empathetic approach tend to find her style helpful. She encourages honest conversation about hopes and fears and works with each person to set realistic goals. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Olubunmi uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, which can help when people struggle with trust, abandonment or relationship patterns. Client-centred therapy puts the personat the centre of sessions, offering empathic listening and support so individuals can find their own solutions. Existential therapy helps people face big questions about meaning, choice and change, useful when coping with loss, chronic illness or life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Olubunmi will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods feel most helpful. The first few sessions are often spent deciding what to focus on and trying small steps to see what fits.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions that use audio rather than video if that suits daily life better. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor session length and focus to the persons routine and commitments.
