What clients say

“I started working with Adenike in a very turbulent and emotional time of my life and it felt like a blessing to have a woman with such warmth, compassion and wisdom on my side. To me she was not “just a therapist”. She was a huge pillar of strength and encouragement on my path. She created a space that was open for what truly mattered to me. I distinctly remember a few times when I would message her spontaneously in a lot of distress and receive answers that would help me to immediately shift perspective to self-compassion. Those were very crucial learning moments for me because she showed me that I could meet myself with love instead of pressure. I still remember the things she said back then and continue to practice to talk to myself in that way. I learned so much about having a growth mindset from her. She shifted my “everything that’s wrong with me and my life”-mindset to the “let’s talk about where you have grown recently”-one. One of my big topics during our work together (and one that she’s very passionate about as well) was romantic relationships. She would often share stories or metaphors to help me see my situation from a new side. She encouraged me to make lists and spell out what I truly need and desire from a relationship which helped me to finally cut out a very draining situationship that I had held onto for five years and never thought I could let go of. I think the biggest factor for that besides the list, etc. was simply her presence in my life. I knew I would be okay because I had “backup”. We had a few times where our view differed a lot and even then – as I was doing and saying things she disagreed with – she was able to hold and communicate her own values and concerns very honestly while also honoring and respecting mine. That was a deeply healing experience for me because I understood that conflicts are possible with appreciation and respect for each other. I left every session with her feeling filled up even when we had talked about very tough things. I am so deeply grateful that I got to work with Adenike for two-and-a-half years and I whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone who is in need of a deeply soul-nourishing support!”

Her approach to therapeutic work is amazing, often encorporating messaging through story telling, which I found to be very helpful and effective. She has equipped me with skills for life, I know myself much better now and am so much more in control of my emotions. Greatful for her service.”
