Mr Dele Ayo Bankole

Family Therapist

“I am a trained, certified, and experienced family therapist, deploying evidence-based, CBT, and solution-focused brief therapy to help individuals and families achieve bliss and clarity.”

About Me

As an experienced family therapist, I help individuals and families find practical ways forward. I use evidence-based approaches like solution-focused brief therapy to explore your strengths and build on what's already working well. This enables you to gain clarity and develop concrete steps towards a more harmonious future. My aim is to support you in achieving greater understanding and well-being.

Approach

To help families move toward clearer, steadier relationships, I guide sessions toward practical, measurable steps that build momentum. In Lagos or online, in English or Yoruba, sessions are paced to suit your rhythm—often focusing on one concrete change per meeting with brief check-ins between sessions. We use focused assessments and coaching to test what helps, reframe stressful patterns, and translate insights into everyday habits. Those facing transitions, burnout, or strained relationships often find this collaborative, step-by-step approach most useful.
