About Adenike
Adenike Oduwusi is a psychotherapist with eight years of experience working in mental health. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Adenike speaks English and Yoruba and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.
She helps people who are stressed, anxious or feeling low. She also supports those who are grieving, struggling with self-esteem, coping with life changes, or dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
Parenting strain, compassion fatigue and career-related pressure are also areas she addresses. Adenike uses a mix of approaches to meet each person's needs. She draws on Narrative therapy to help people make sense of their stories and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build workable actions.
Attachment-based thinking and client-centred listening shape how she responds in the room. Her way of working is straightforward and conversational. She focuses on what is useful now rather than on jargon.
Sessions aim to help people identify small, manageable steps and notice what already helps them get through hard days. Practicalities are kept simple. Adenike offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging.
Session arrangements use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and bookings start by completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule a time that suits the client.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Adenike directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and action-focused approaches work online
Adenike often uses Narrative therapy to help people name and reframe the stories that shape their feelings. Narrative work helps when past events, cultural expectations or identity leave someone feeling stuck and unsure what to change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another key approach she uses; it focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing small values-led actions to move forward. Attachment-based ideas inform her listening, helping to spot how early relationships affect current patterns and intimacy issues.Choosing an approach is a shared process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest ways to combine methods that fit their situation. This is collaborative work, with the therapist and client deciding together what to try and adjusting as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text is practical for more frequent, brief support and for people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare and travel.
