Ganiyat Olaleye is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strains. She also supports those coping with grief, anger, low self esteem and addictive behaviours.

Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba. Her work begins by listening to each person’s story and identifying what matters most to them. She uses practical methods from several approaches to help clients manage difficult feelings and make everyday changes.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on real problems and realistic steps rather than jargon. Ganiyat adapts her approach to the person in front of her. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and on emotion-focused tools to help with painful memories.

She also uses acceptance-based ideas when people need new ways to live alongside ongoing struggles. Clients commonly bring concerns about parenting, intimacy, eating and sleeping, career pressures and coping with life changes. Ganiyat also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges and the effects of trauma and abuse.

She pays attention to how attachment and past losses can shape current relationships. Practical details are discussed together so therapy fits weekly life. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

International clients are welcome and appointments can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Therapy approaches suited to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can help when someone is living with chronic stress, ongoing anxiety or life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help the client decide which methods fit best based on their goals and what they prefer. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time if different techniques are needed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and have longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, midweek support or those who find writing helps them reflect. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while still using the same therapeutic approaches.
