About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a UK-based counsellor with six years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She brings a respectful, down-to-earth approach and believes clients know their own stories best. Sessions are focused on what matters to each person and on building practical ways to cope and move forward.
Her work often addresses stress and anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and grief. She also helps with anger, self-esteem, addictive behaviours, sleep and eating concerns, and the strain that comes from caring for others. Ganiyat has an interest in issues such as ADHD, attachment and body image as well as challenges linked to chronic illness or ageing.
She draws on several counselling approaches to match what a person needs. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice their thoughts and commit to values-based action, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thinking and behaviour. Client-centred work is used to create a warm, listening space.
Ganiyat is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS. She offers sessions in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients who are able to take part from the UK context.
Practical steps are simple: start by using the site to make initial choices, then book according to the therapist's schedule. She aims to collaborate with each person to set goals and try out strategies that fit everyday life.
How Ganiyat brings evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship so clients feel heard and can find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to match a person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may combine elements from different approaches over time.
Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Many people find online sessions fit more easily around work and family life, reduce travel time and let them work with a counsellor who is not local. Online work can also make short check-ins easier to arrange and allow flexibility in scheduling without needing to be on site.
