About Ayotunde

Ayotunde Popoola is a counsellor who focuses on helping people cope with stress and anxiety. She works with concerns such as grief, low self-esteem, depression, anger and life changes. Ayotunde uses a warm, person-centred style that aims to make conversations feel straightforward and supportive.

Ayotunde draws on several approaches to meet each person's needs. She uses client-centred counselling alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and solution-focused ideas. Trauma-focused methods are also part of her practice when past harm is central to someone's difficulties.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. Ayotunde listens to what matters most, helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and supports small steps that build confidence and coping skills. She also helps people notice emotional patterns that affect relationships and everyday life.

Ayotunde has four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. People usually start by describing the problem they want to change.

From there she tailors the work to individual goals, whether that means short-term strategies for coping or deeper work on painful experiences. The sessions aim to be clear, steady and focused on practical progress.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and allowing people to lead the pace of conversations. It helps when someone needs a steady place to think things through and rebuild confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches simple tools to change unhelpful patterns; it suits worries, low mood and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognise and work with strong emotional responses, often improving how they relate to themselves and others.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Ayotunde will discuss goals and preferences early on and work together to choose methods that fit those aims. That collaborative decision helps shape whether sessions focus on short-term coping skills or on processing difficult experiences over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and hold deeper conversations, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, while live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work and family commitments, and to try different formats until the best fit is found.
