Tolulope Elizabeth Fakunle, HCPC

Tolulope Elizabeth Fakunle is a counsellor registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) who brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. She frames clients as the experts in their own lives and focuses on helping them take practical steps toward change. Tolulope writes in a straightforward way and aims to make the first steps less daunting for people who are worried and unsure where to begin.

She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, intimacy issues, addictive behaviours, trauma and grief. Practical life problems such as sleep and eating difficulties, career questions and parenting strains are part of her day-to-day work.

Tolulope uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centred Therapy alongside Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Sessions tend to focus on clear, usable strategies rather than theory alone.

Her practice pays attention to how attachment, body image and caregiver stress affect wellbeing. Tolulope also supports people facing isolation, guilt, forgiveness challenges and questions about life purpose. She offers help for those experiencing pregnancy and childbirth concerns, social anxiety and ADHD-related difficulties.

Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba. Tolulope works from the United Kingdom and is registered with HCPC. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether her practical, strengths-based style feels like a fit before booking.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move life in a clearer direction, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It offers simple techniques to test worries and change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Client-Centred Therapy offers an open, non-judgemental space where the person sets the pace. It can be helpful when someone needs to talk through relationship strain, grief or identity questions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tolulope will discuss options and try methods that match the person's goals, preferences and day-to-day realities. This is done together, with small steps and regular check-ins to see what helps.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit around working hours, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep appointments. Some formats can be shorter for quick check-ins or involve less bandwidth when needed, so practical needs are taken into account when arranging sessions.
