About Olusayo
Olusayo Ayegbusi is an AASW social worker with three years of practice in Australia. She helps people facing parenting challenges, sleep and rest problems, career doubts, low self-esteem and family conflict. Her tone is respectful and compassionate, and she adapts conversations to each person's needs. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step easier.
Olusayo listens in a straightforward, non-judgemental way. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting across from her. She uses practical conversation to untangle problems and find small, achievable steps forward.
Her approach draws on client-centred work that keeps the person’s perspective central. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to look at thinking patterns that affect mood and sleep. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques feature when a person wants clearer goals or faster practical changes.
Olusayo has supported people with caregiving stress, ageing and geriatric issues, immigration-related concerns and money worries. She also helps with communication problems, forgiveness work and dealing with the emotional impact of domestic violence. Her practice considers multicultural backgrounds and different life stages.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s situation and goals. Olusayo matches the style and tools she uses to what will help most in day-to-day life. If you are ready to start, she will guide you through the first steps and keep adjustments simple and practical.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s perspective first and aims to build a supportive space where the therapist listens and follows your lead. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and wants to explore what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and helps people try practical changes to improve mood and sleep. Motivational interviewing focuses on finding internal reasons to change and can be useful for shifting habits or increasing motivation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Olusayo will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs. She adjusts the plan as goals change and checks in on what is working.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during the day. They can also be helpful when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed. AASW social workers and other appropriately qualified professionals often use online work to keep care practical and accessible, while tailoring appointments to personal schedules and goals.
