Fiwasade Onifade, BACP

Fiwasade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on bringing change through conversation and practical strategies. One common approach involves trauma-informed work that helps people make sense of painful events, reduce overwhelm and learn grounding techniques for dissociation or flashbacks. Another approach concentrates on grief and loss, using guided conversation to process emotions and build daily routines that support recovery. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then adjust methods as needs change. That collaborative process helps to choose techniques that suit the person rather than forcing a single method. Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy fit modern life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit quieter audio-only check-ins and lower bandwidth situations, while live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journalling-style updates or for people who prefer typing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and make ongoing contact easier to maintain.
