About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works directly with people facing stress, anxiety and low mood. She speaks English and Yoruba and accepts international clients.
She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Ganiyat listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then she helps people set small, achievable steps to change how they respond to worry, sadness or difficult thoughts.
Background and approach
Her practice draws on a mix of approaches that fit the person rather than a single method. She uses practical strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy alongside acceptance and commitment ideas. She also pays attention to attachment patterns and how relationships affect wellbeing.
People come to her for many concerns including grief, anger, intimacy problems, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, career stress and addiction-related issues. She also works with complex problems such as trauma, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related coping challenges. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs.
Ganiyat aims to make goals clear and measurable so progress is easier to see. She invites people to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and choosing a time that fits their schedule.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action toward those values, which can help with anxiety and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and to build new habits that improve mood and sleep.
Attachment-Based Therapy attends to how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It can be useful for intimacy issues, trust concerns and communication problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will try methods that fit you best. That collaborative process helps shape which techniques are used as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you use visual cues and role-play skills work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when you cannot be on camera. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support or when writing helps you think things through. These options give flexibility and help people maintain continuity of care across locations.
