About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a UK-based counsellor with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and those coping with grief or major life changes. She also supports clients dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, and issues around sleep and eating.
Ganiyat describes the person as the expert in their own story. She aims to build on each person's strengths and practical coping skills. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. Ganiyat uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
Her practice draws on several evidence-informed approaches that suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings and choose values-based actions. Attachment-based and client-centred ideas guide how she attends to relationships and emotional experience.
Ganiyat has worked with people affected by trauma, addiction, compassion fatigue and ADHD among other concerns. She also supports those facing career stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and ageing-related worries. Her style is calm and practical, aiming to make therapy feel like a useful part of everyday life.
Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba, and international clients can be seen. If someone wants to begin, the site matching and scheduling process is explained in the next section.
Approaches that translate to online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then make choices that line up with what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and adjustment to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behaviour changes to reduce distress and improve daily routines. It can help with sleep, anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how relationships shape feelings and reactions, and can be useful when relationship patterns or past hurt are part of the struggle.Finding the right approach is normally a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to the client's concerns, try different methods if needed, and agree together which ways of working feel most useful. This means plans can change as goals become clearer and progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping continuity when life is changing. Online work can make it easier to join from different locations, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
