Adejuwon Adeleye
Adejuwon Adeleye (He/Him) is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (#19375) with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors, and holds a Master of Counselling from Athabasca University.
Adejuwon is inspired by the power of human stories. With over 15 years of experience in supporting clients, he is passionate about understanding the narratives clients carry and helping them uncover the meaning woven within them. He has supported individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, grief, and loss. Drawing on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), he helps clients make sense of difficult emotions and build lives aligned with their values. Through collaborative, narrative based conversations, he supports clients in discovering new possibilities and perspectives that strengthen their wellbeing.
Adejuwon is also deeply invested in working with couples. Using an attachment based lens, he helps partners understand their emotional patterns, strengthen their bond, and move closer to one another. Drawing from Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), he guides couples in becoming more accessible, responsive, and engaged. He teaches couples how vulnerability can be a powerful tool for connection—one that builds intimacy, fosters safety, and creates the foundation needed to navigate conflict with compassion.
His counselling space is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and safety—an environment where people can learn, grow, and live more intentionally. Adejuwon considers it an honour to walk with clients as they rediscover their resilience and move toward the lives they want to create.
His work is guided by a deep belief that every person has the capacity to create meaning in their life—even when that meaning feels unclear or ever changing. He invites clients to slow down, reconnect with their inner wisdom.
