About Ayotunde

Ayotunde Popoola is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She supports clients facing depression, trauma and abuse, anger, career worries and major life changes. Ayotunde works with each person to find practical ways forward rather than offering one fixed solution.

She draws on person-centred counselling as a base and mixes in other methods to suit the person in front of her. That means sessions often start by listening closely to what matters most to the client.

Background and approach

From there she helps people set small, realistic goals and try different ways of coping between meetings. Ayotunde uses cognitive and emotion-focused ideas to help people understand unhelpful thoughts and strong feelings. She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify what is already working and build on that.

Trauma-focused approaches are used where past events continue to cause distress. Her practice pays attention to specific issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care experiences, body image and codependency. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, divorce and domestic violence related concerns.

Ayotunde has four years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can make steady progress at their own pace.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Ayotunde uses client-centred counselling which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people understand their own goals and values. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive space to talk through feelings and make choices.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, which looks at unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical ways to change them. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it gives clear techniques to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach usually begins with conversation. Ayotunde works together with the client to decide which methods suit their needs and aims, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps shape the focus of therapy over time.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions work well when connections are simpler, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while keeping the focus on practical change.
