Rotimi Akinsete

Currently available for online and in-person counselling and  clinical supervision

Navigating life's challenges can often evoke complex emotions and uncertainties. In my therapeutic approach, I view these emotional landscapes as fertile ground for exploration. This journey involves understanding your place in the world, your relationship with it, and the meanings you assign to your experiences. Through the dynamic exchange between you and I, a path to greater clarity and the discovery of new avenues towards a more fulfilling and creative life emerges.

I am a Counsellor and psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, Training & Organisational Development Consultant and Mentor.

I have  experience in private, community and NHS counselling settings and have worked as Director of Student Welfare & Support Services at the University of Oxford, and held similar positions at the University of Surrey, the University of the Arts and the University of Greenwich and apply this contextual experience to my clinical work.

I have also been the service lead for adolescent counselling for a large London (NHS) Foundation Trust and managed a large team dealing with diverse and challenging issues so taking organisational issues and concerns into account are a large part of my work.

I am currently in private practice working with a range of clients online and in person both in London and Surrey.

I am the author of This Book Could Help: The Men’s Headspace Manual.

Happy to offer a free, brief 10-15 minute telephone conversation to find out about your needs

However, the duration of our therapeutic journey is flexible, tailored to your unique needs and objectives. Whether it's addressing specific emotional struggles or delving into the deeper aspects of your identity, I adapt to your preferences. 

Our journey commences with an initial session (which may be comprised of an initial assessment) where we discuss your motivations for seeking therapy. With an academic background including an MSc in therapeutic counselling and diplomas in counselling and clinical supervision, I bring over two decades of experience as a therapist and supervisor to guide you on this transformative path.
