About Ganiyat

Ganiyat Olaleye is a UK counsellor with BACP and NCPS credentials and six years of professional experience. She works with adults on common life stresses. Her stated concerns include anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, anger, self-esteem, addictions, and parenting pressures.

She also lists work on trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, career worries, compassion fatigue, ADHD and blended family issues. Her background covers a wide range of everyday problems that often overlap. She speaks English and Yoruba and sees people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.

In sessions she follows several practical approaches. Ganiyat uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to look at thoughts and behaviours. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult feelings without being led by them. Attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening shape how she discusses relationships and past patterns.

Her style is straightforward and focused on what people can do next. Conversations centre on small, manageable steps and coping skills you can try between meetings. She encourages clients to identify strengths they already have and to build from there.

For people in new or blended households she can help talk through role changes, loyalty tensions and communication habits. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site's process to match and book a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Ganiyat draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce distress. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you choose which methods fit your goals and preferences, and adjust techniques as you progress. This is a collaborative process where your experience guides which tools are used.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring duties or travel. It may also let someone check in more quickly with a shorter meeting when that suits, or avoid arranging travel time on a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and communication to work well in remote sessions.
