About Afusat
Dr. Afusat Apata supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting challenges and depression. She uses clear, practical conversations to help people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Sessions aim to make daily life feel more manageable and to build skills that help over time. She draws on ten years of clinical experience and is registered with the HCPC. That background informs how she listens and how she helps people set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what matters most to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Her style is warm and respectful. She encourages honest talk and focuses on useful strategies people can try between sessions.
Feedback and small adjustments guide the work from week to week. Dr. Apata uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas for changing unhelpful thinking, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and action, and attachment-based thinking when relationships are central.
She mixes these depending on a person’s needs and preferences. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session that fits the person’s timetable.

Approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for stress, anxiety and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour; it often helps with anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past and current relationship patterns affect how someone connects with others and themselves; this can be helpful when relationship issues or parenting concerns are central.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your situation, goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as you learn what helps most.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video calls make it easier to use visual tools and worksheets. Phone sessions can fit a short break during the day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins or when written reflection helps. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working with a registered or accredited professional.
