About Ayotunde
Ayotunde Popoola is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem and the strains that come with big life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, anger and career concerns. Her practice is aimed at adults, including young adults navigating the transition into independent life.
Ayotunde uses a person-centred foundation as the starting point for work. That means conversations focus on the client's experience and what matters most to them. She draws on a mix of approaches, using techniques from cognitive behavioural work, emotionally-focused methods, solution-focused practice and trauma-focused strategies when appropriate.
Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small practical steps between meetings. She pays attention to attachment, abandonment and family-of-origin themes when these affect mood and relationships. Practical tools for coping, mood regulation and communication are introduced over time.
Her background combines private practice work with platform-based practice in the UK. She has worked with issues connected to adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, body image and the impacts of domestic violence or separation.
Conversations are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted at present. For those ready to begin, sessions form part of a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time; prospective clients use the site matching questionnaire to book a first session.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Ayotunde works from a person-centred base and brings in evidence-informed techniques to suit what each person needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the client's perspective and is about listening, reflecting and helping people make their own choices. It is useful for building confidence and clarifying values.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It provides practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and test small behavioural changes, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on how emotions shape relationships and personal patterns; it helps people notice emotional responses and find different ways to respond when strong feelings arise.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can be revisited as work progresses so sessions stay relevant and practical.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study or work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. If a client prefers fewer video calls, practical arrangements can be discussed at booking to suit everyday life.
