About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom, with six years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and loss, parenting challenges, and issues with motivation and self‑esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba, and she accepts international clients.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other methods to help people clarify feelings and relational patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and take values‑based actions. Conversations are centred on what clients want to change and practical steps to get there.
Ganiyat describes clients as the experts in their own lives and works with their strengths. She helps people name difficult emotions, spot patterns that cause pain, and try different ways of responding. Work may include noticing connections between feelings and behaviour, and trying small experiments between sessions.
She has experience supporting people through transitions, perinatal mental health concerns, coping with chronic illness, and issues around intimacy and body image. Additional focus areas include ADHD, attachment concerns, and carer stress. Ganiyat tailors her mix of methods to the person in front of her while keeping sessions straightforward and practical.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. It is often used when people want to understand attachment and feelings that are hard to put into words. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take practical steps toward those values despite difficult feelings. Attachment‑Based Therapy looks at early and current attachment patterns to make sense of how people relate to others and themselves.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Ganiyat will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, medical history and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a working day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check‑in meetings when needed. They also let people stay in familiar surroundings and use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt exercises and between‑session tasks so they work well over distance.
