Ganiyat Olaleye is a UK-based counsellor with six years' experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief and relationship difficulties. She works with individuals who are facing life transitions, parenting strain, low self-esteem, addiction concerns and anger. Ganiyat uses a warm, respectful style and treats each person as the expert in their own life.

Her work is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing and useful right now. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She also uses Attachment-Based and client-centred ideas to strengthen emotional understanding and self-compassion.

Ganiyat supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related worries, sleeping and eating problems, career stress and compassion fatigue. She also has experience with ADHD, body image and chronic illness issues. Conversations aim to surface unhelpful cycles and build steady, manageable steps forward.

Her credentials include BACP and NCPS, which are recorded as part of her professional profile. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba, and she accepts international clients. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies by location and therapist availability.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Ganiyat focuses on creating a calm, practical space where people can try new strategies and regain a sense of control.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, and then taking actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and difficulty making changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for stress, sleep and addictive habits. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relationship patterns and emotional responses, helping people who struggle with intimacy, trust or recurring conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ganiyat will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adapt methods to their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may mix elements from different approaches to suit what matters to the individual.

The therapist's biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that remote sessions help them maintain consistency while they try tools and strategies in everyday life.
