Ayotunde Popoola , BACP

Ayotunde Popoola is a person-centered counsellor who helps people explore their values, strengths and goals in a supportive setting. She believes that each person has the capacity to uncover an authentic sense of self and to build a life with greater purpose and meaning. Her practice emphasizes understanding the unique circumstances and perspectives each client brings, and she adapts interventions to match those individual needs.

Ayotunde uses an integrative style, drawing on a range of therapeutic methods to create tailored support for issues such as anxiety, depression and relationship challenges, as well as for clients seeking personal growth or greater emotional resilience. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and works collaboratively with clients to identify practical steps and deeper insights that promote lasting change.

She holds BACP, which indicates membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects adherence to professional standards. Ayotunde practices in the United Kingdom, maintaining a private practice alongside her other professional work. Her approach is aimed at helping people tap into inner resources, strengthen coping skills and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Combining Person-Centered Care with Evidence-Informed Online Therapy

Ayotunde integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support clients in online settings. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the exploration of their values and goals, which is useful for personal growth, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often helping with anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties. Emotionally-focused ideas inform her work when relationships and attachment patterns are central to a client’s concerns, helping partners and individuals process strong emotions and improve connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Ayotunde works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the format that best suits a client’s communication style and schedule while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
