About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a UK-based counsellor with six years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. Ganiyat also supports those coping with grief, parenting strains, low motivation and self-esteem. She offers sessions in English and Yoruba and accepts international clients.
Ganiyat believes the person coming for help is the expert on their own life. She focuses on listening first, then helping people identify small, practical steps they can try. Conversations aim to build on existing strengths and to reduce things that make daily life harder.
Her practice draws on several approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours to ease symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take values-based actions. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships affect current patterns.
Sessions are conversational and down to earth. Ganiyat uses clear tools and exercises when they help, and quieter reflective work when that fits better. The focus is on what the person wants to change and practical steps to get there.
People seeking help are asked to use the Start Therapy button on the site. They complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Payment works via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Ganiyat's approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then to take steps that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and trying small experiments to change them. It often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and communication, which can be useful for relationship stresses and intimacy-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ganiyat will discuss options and try different ways of working based on what the person wants to achieve. This is a collaborative process where goals and preferences shape which methods are used.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means people can connect from different locations if that suits their schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets and conversational techniques to work well in remote sessions, helping people carry progress into everyday life.
