Bilikis Adebayo – Barrie

When life feels overwhelming, relationships feel strained, or you’re managing stress, substance use, or difficult circumstances, Bilikis Adebayo offers steady, practical support focused on helping you manage challenges in real life and move forward with greater stability and confidence.

Bilikis works with children, teens, adults, and families navigating emotional challenges, relationship difficulties, substance use, and life transitions. She also supports individuals experiencing stress related to culture, identity, race, and lived experiences, offering a space where these can be explored with care and understanding.

With over ten years of experience in community mental health, hospital settings, crisis response, and developmental services, Bilikis brings a grounded and real-world approach to therapy. She is comfortable supporting clients through both immediate challenges and longer-term recovery.

Clients often seek Bilikis’s support when they are experiencing:

• Anxiety, stress, and feeling overwhelmed

• Parenting and family counselling needs
• Emotional regulation and coping difficulties
• Self-harm and safety concerns
• Life transitions
• Substance use and recovery

Bilikis takes a direct, supportive, and non-judgmental approach. She focuses on helping clients develop practical coping strategies they can rely on in everyday life, while building on their strengths and resilience.

She draws from approaches such as CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and narrative therapy, adapting her work to meet each client’s needs.

Clients often experience Bilikis as steady, honest, and easy to talk to. She creates a space where clients feel respected and supported, while also helping them take meaningful steps toward change.

Bilikis holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Redeemer’s University, a postgraduate certificate in Addictions and Mental Health from Durham College, and a Master of Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University.
