About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and offers support around relationship difficulties, grief and life transitions. Ganiyat also helps with self-esteem, motivation, parenting concerns and perinatal mental health. She speaks English and Yoruba and is registered with BACP and NCPS.
Ganiyat believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. In sessions she focuses on practical steps and clear conversations. She uses different approaches to match what each person needs rather than a single fixed method.
Her background includes work with people affected by trauma and abuse, addiction and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with sleep or eating problems, chronic illness, caregiving strain and challenges linked to ageing. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is listed among the areas she can help with.
Therapeutic approaches Ganiyat uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy among others. She aims to help people notice what matters to them and develop small, manageable changes in day-to-day life.
Clients can expect a calm, practical style that balances understanding with straightforward tools. Ganiyat encourages people to set goals together and reviews progress as therapy continues. She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at improving how people feel and function.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that match those values, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviours to reduce symptoms like low mood, sleep problems and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, preferences and goals. That collaborative process includes reviewing what is helpful and adjusting the plan as therapy proceeds.
Session logistics such as formats are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or audio depending on what feels most practical, and helps therapy continue when life circumstances make in-person meetings difficult.
