About Ganiyat

Ganiyat Olaleye works with people on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger and self-esteem using practical talking therapy methods. She is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) member and has six years' experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom.

Ganiyat sees each person as the expert on their own life and starts from what is already working for them. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps and on learning skills that people can use between meetings. She combines different approaches to match individual needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Her practice covers a broad range of concerns, including addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting pressures, career stress and depression. She also works with related themes such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and communication problems.

Ganiyat uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. These are used to help people build coping strategies, change unhelpful patterns and improve emotional regulation.

Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba, and she accepts international clients. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session cost varies with location. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the Talk to a counsellor online button.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that matter to them; it can help with anxiety, low mood and values-based decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and supports learning practical techniques to manage symptoms such as worry, low mood or sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and can help with trust, intimacy and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. The choice of approach can change as therapy progresses and as priorities shift.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you are considering international sessions, she does accept international clients, and practical arrangements can be clarified when you set up the first appointment.
