About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and works in English and Yoruba. Ganiyat welcomes people who are feeling stuck by stress, low mood or change and offers straightforward support to move forward.
Her work focuses on practical conversation and gentle challenge. She helps people talk through anxiety, grief, relationship strain, anger and issues around self‑esteem.
Background and approach
She also supports those dealing with addiction, sleep or eating problems, and career or parenting pressures. Ganiyat uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit each person. That can include cognitive work to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, acceptance-based exercises to reduce struggle with painful feelings, and attachment‑aware conversations about how early relationships shape current responses.
She aims to keep sessions simple and useful rather than full of jargon. People typically meet to set small, achievable goals and build coping skills they can use between sessions. She listens for strengths in each story and helps people practise new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Her style balances warmth with clear, practical steps. Ganiyat accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

How Ganiyat’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. It often involves simple exercises to identify values and take small actions that matter, which can be practised between sessions. Attachment‑Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present reactions and aims to build safer ways of relating and expressing needs. Client‑Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre, using empathic listening and acceptance to help people feel heard and find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ganiyat will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. She draws on different methods as needed and makes the plan together with the client rather than applying a single set method.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people talk face to face when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check‑in fits a busy day. Live chat or text messaging suit those who prefer typing, need quieter contact or want ongoing brief support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical skills.
