About Fiwasade
Fiwasade Onifade is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people cope with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, stress and anxiety. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Fiwasade aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion while tailoring conversations to each person's needs.
With seven years of professional experience, Fiwasade adapts the pace and focus of sessions to the person sitting across from her. She listens for practical ways to reduce distress and build small, manageable changes. Sessions are written around the client’s goals and move at a pace that feels achievable.
Fiwasade draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address things like dissociation, domestic violence impacts, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and immigration-related stress. She works with concerns such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, infidelity, isolation and family of origin problems. Her aim is to help clients notice patterns and try different coping strategies.
The approach is collaborative. Fiwasade will discuss options and agree a simple plan to try between sessions. She encourages people to bring whatever feels most urgent that week, and she helps them name concrete steps they can test in daily life.
Sessions are conducted in English and organised through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.
Approaches and how they work online
Fiwasade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps in everyday life. One common approach she uses encourages noticing thoughts and behaviours and testing small changes to reduce distress; this helps with depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed ways of talking about difficult events, helping people make sense of painful memories and slowly build coping skills for triggers and dissociation.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Fiwasade works collaboratively to identify which techniques suit a person’s goals and preferences. She discusses options, tries methods together, and adjusts the plan based on what feels most useful over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can spend sessions focusing on the issue at hand. Registered or accredited professionals often find that talking through problems remotely still lets people practise new skills between meetings and test small changes in daily life.
