About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with six years of professional experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and parenting strains. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba and she accepts international clients.
She prefers a straightforward, person-centred way of working. Ganiyat uses methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based approaches. She helps people talk through what is troubling them and build small, practical steps to cope differently.
Parents and adults who are juggling work, caring and family demands will find that she addresses common pressures such as sleep and eating problems, low motivation, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people manage anger, addictions, intimacy-related difficulties and the effects of trauma and abuse. Practical topics like communication problems and blended family issues are part of her breadth of concerns.
Ganiyat draws on a mix of talking therapies including Client-Centred and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques. In sessions she explores patterns, identifies coping options and practises skills that can be used between meetings. The aim is to build clearer choices rather than rely on one fixed method.
People find it useful to start by describing what they most want to change. New clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that match personal values; it is often used for anxiety, depression and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and teaches practical skills to break unhelpful cycles, which can help with sleep, panic and worry. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with intimacy issues and communication difficulties.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your situation and preferences and together you will pick methods that suit your goals. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as things unfold.
The original biography did not list specific online formats, so please confirm session options before booking. Many people find online-based sessions useful because they can fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you want to focus on skill practice, sessions can include exercises you use between meetings and steps that slot into everyday routines.
