About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a UK counsellor with BACP and NCPS registration and six years' experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns, and also supports people facing grief, parenting strain, motivation issues and perinatal mental health matters.
Ganiyat works in straightforward, practical ways. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions often involve talking through current problems, testing small changes, and practising new ways of coping between meetings.
Her approach draws on several well-known methods including cognitive work, acceptance strategies and attachment-informed ideas. This means conversations can cover thoughts and behaviours, values-based action, and patterns in close relationships. She aims to match the method to the person rather than pushing one fixed model.
Clients come with a wide range of concerns such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, career and life transitions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Ganiyat also works with issues linked to body image, bereavement, chronic illness and caring responsibilities.
She offers sessions in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session through the online booking flow.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness, which can help with relationship difficulties and intimacy issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours through practical exercises and experiments, and is often used for anxiety and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ganiyat will explore goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as sessions progress, so the work stays relevant to the person's real-life needs.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm which online formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around study, work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. They can also let people continue with therapy if they move location or are living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt activities like behavioural experiments, values work and attachment conversations to work well in remote sessions.
