About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a UK-based counsellor with six years of practice supporting people through difficult life moments. She draws on a range of talking approaches and works alongside each person to identify strengths and next steps. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba and she accepts international clients.
Ganiyat spends time listening and helping people name what matters most to them. She often helps with stress, anxiety and depression, and with life transitions such as grief or changes that come with parenting and illness. People come for help with relationships, self-esteem, motivation and sleeping or eating difficulties.
Her work uses practical tools from therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based approaches. She also draws on client-centred and dialectical behaviour therapy ideas to tailor sessions to a person’s needs. That means sessions can include skills practice, noticing patterns, and finding clearer ways to act in line with values.
Ganiyat aims to make the first steps straightforward. She asks simple questions about what’s been happening and what the client hopes to change. Together they set small, achievable goals and track progress in the weeks that follow.
She describes the therapeutic relationship as collaborative. The focus is on what someone can do differently day to day, and on building practical coping strategies for issues like chronic pain, caregiving stress, ADHD-related struggles and compassion fatigue.

How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and adjusting to long-term health challenges. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments and different behaviours, which can help with depression, sleep problems and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of relating affect current relationships and can help with intimacy issues and communication problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ganiyat works collaboratively to find which methods suit a person’s situation, goals and preferences. She combines techniques as needed and reviews progress together so the work stays practical and relevant.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or caregiving duties, cut out travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. It also makes it possible to work with a therapist across time zones when international clients take part. Registered or accredited professionals can use these benefits to keep therapy focused on clear, achievable steps.
