Bosede Christiana Oyelakin

Licensed Professional Counselor

“A professional Mental Health Therapist and Counsellor with training in the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.”

About Me

As a mental health therapist, I help clients understand and navigate challenging emotions. I draw on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to guide our work. You will gain practical skills, like mindfulness or distress tolerance, to manage daily stressors. This structured, evidence-based approach supports individuals seeking clarity and resilience. It's ideal for those ready to develop lasting tools for emotional well-being in a supportive space.

Approach

Practical, skills-focused sessions translate evidence into everyday routines, helping you try small shifts between meetings and notice what changes. In my Ketu practice and online I work in English and Yoruba, keeping sessions paced to school, work and family life so learning is manageable. Sessions blend brief teaching, role‑practice and gentle tracking of reactions to build safety around difficult memories, relationships and burnout. This approach suits adolescents, parents and adults ready for steady, hands‑on change.
