About Foluke
Intern,
Placement Dates: May 4, 2026 - December 16, 2026
Sometimes kids and teens carry a lot on the inside. Big feelings can come out quickly, or build quietly until everything feels overwhelming. You might notice worry, frustration, shutdown, or a sense that your child is struggling but can’t quite make sense of what they’re feeling. This can be hard for both the young person and the family.
Having a space where they can slow down, understand their emotions, and learn safe ways to express them can make a meaningful difference. I offer a calm, supportive environment where children and teens can begin to make sense of their experiences at their own pace.
My approach is neuro-affirming, holistic, and strengths-based. I believe each child experiences the world in their own way, and those differences deserve to be met with curiosity and respect. I use an integrative approach that includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside person-centered principles, creating a balance of gentle structure and genuine connection.
I work through a trauma-informed lens, recognizing both the challenges children face and the resilience they carry. My work is shaped by my experience supporting neurodivergent children, as well as my own lived experience growing up alongside a sibling with complex needs. This has taught me the importance of slowing down, listening closely, and meeting each child where they are. I also understand the impact of grief and loss, and how important it is to have support during those times.
I have several years of experience working with neurodivergent children and am passionate about creating spaces where they feel a sense of belonging and acceptance.
I am currently in the practicum portion of my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. As an intern, I practice under the supervision of the founder, Laura Banks, RSW, MSW.
