About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba and she accepts international clients.
Ganiyat describes clients as experts in their own stories and focuses on practical steps they can take. She uses a mix of approaches to suit what each person needs. This often means learning specific skills to manage strong feelings and trying small behaviour changes between sessions.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping and eating difficulties, parenting strains, career challenges and compassion fatigue. She also notes experience with ADHD, attachment and communication problems, and care-related stress.
In the room she talks through what is most urgent and what can shift over time. Therapy may include noticing thoughts and values, practising new ways of responding to distress, and building steadier routines for sleep and daily life. The focus is on realistic steps people can use outside sessions.
People who want straightforward, skills-focused counselling often find this helpful. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that fit those values. It helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed by emotions or unsure what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and behaviour. It teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, anger and unhelpful routines by changing how someone thinks and acts.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that seem to fit, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the counsellor decide together which strategies to keep and which to change.
The biography does not detail specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care across locations, and this therapist accepts international clients. Discuss practical arrangements when you book so sessions suit your routine and needs.
