Ganiyat Olaleye
Practical counselling for everyday struggles
About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She draws on practical techniques to help people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and big life changes. Ganiyat speaks English and Yoruba and works with clients from different places, including internationally.
She focuses on everyday problems such as relationships, grief, anger, self-esteem and addictions. She also helps with sleep and eating concerns, parenting pressures, career questions and the strain of illness or caregiving.
Background and approach
Her additional interests include attachment and communication difficulties, body image, ADHD and other neurodiverse concerns. Ganiyat adapts a few different approaches to suit each person. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas, among others, to shape sessions around practical steps and new ways of thinking.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the client’s readiness. In meetings she prioritises listening and clear goals. Conversations are used to spot patterns, try small experiments and build skills that help day-to-day life.
She sees therapy as a team effort where the client’s values and strengths guide the work. Sessions are offered through a range of online formats, so people can choose what fits their routine. Ganiyat emphasises steady progress and simple tools clients can use between sessions.

How Ganiyat’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with things that matter. It uses practical exercises to build tolerance for difficult feelings and to move towards chosen values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleeping or eating difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships affect current trust and closeness and supports changes in how people relate to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ganiyat will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day life to decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can be easier to fit into a busy day and allow written reflections between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals deliver therapy this way to make it easier to fit into modern life.
