Tolulope Osula

I am available Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

I am an integrative counsellor for children and young people based in Bedford, Bedfordshire. I use different approaches and techniques to support my clients, I have training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, Person-Centred therapy, Play therapy, Creative therapy and Family therapy.

I have a strong commitment to helping children and young people work on pursuing a positive mindset and applying individual strengths in areas that seem challenging with great outcomes. I focus on overwhelming feelings/emotions and thoughts and behaviours that can occasionally prevent a child/young person from achieving their full potential. 

I have worked with children/young people for over a decade, and have expertise working with children and young people from 8-24years. I aim to provide every child and young person I come in contact with, the tools to discover their strengths and utilize those strengths to their advantage in every aspect of their lives.

I also focus on empowering children and young people in finding diverse ways to understand and express their feelings to trusted adults and exploring healthy coping mechanisms to manage their emotions/feelings so they are able to reach their full potentials.

I have experience working in social care and school settings.

I offer sessions via zoom, telephone, face to face and home visits.

The first session focuses on getting to know my client by completing an assessment form together. I explain counselling, confidentiality, safeguarding, and my therapeutic approach. The client gets time to talk to me about his or her challenges and goals for the therapy process. The client may ask me any questions regarding counselling and my approach.
