About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with six years of professional experience. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties, and also supports people facing grief, parenting strain and changes in motivation.
Ganiyat uses several practical approaches in sessions, including cognitive behavioural work and acceptance-based methods. She encourages clients to speak about their situation and to use small, manageable steps to try different ways of coping. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the client wants to change.
She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. This can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment worries, communication problems or trust issues. The work looks at patterns rather than assigning blame, and helps clients notice options they may already have.
Where emotions run high she uses skills drawn from dialectical behaviour approaches to support emotional regulation and distress tolerance. These are practised in short exercises and then reviewed, so people can test what helps between sessions.
Ganiyat offers sessions in English and Yoruba and has supported people dealing with a wide range of life difficulties, including chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and addictive behaviours. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first appointment through the online booking flow.
Approaches used in online sessions
Ganiyat uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in her clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioural steps, which can help with anxiety, sleep and mood. ACT emphasises noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that align with personal values to improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options together and adapt methods based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration helps decide whether to focus more on skills practice, values-based actions or relationship patterns.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If a caller wants to work in English or Yoruba, that can be arranged; international clients are also accepted. Please confirm current session types and scheduling in the booking flow.
