About Ganiyat

Ganiyat Olaleye is a UK-based counsellor with six years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and life challenges.

She draws on multiple therapeutic approaches to tailor support to each person's needs and preferences.

Ganiyat works from a strengths-based perspective, believing that each person is the expert on their own story and already carries resources that can help them move forward. Her clinical toolkit includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which indicate professional training and recognized membership in counselling bodies. Ganiyat offers therapy in English and Yoruba and is accepting clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. She aims to create a supportive, collaborative space for people ready to take the first steps toward change and greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, avoidance, and motivation issues. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can support work on intimacy, abandonment concerns, and relationship dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an accepting, non-directive stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and offers empathic understanding - an approach that often benefits self-esteem, transitions, and grief.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ganiyat collaborates with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as therapy progresses to ensure the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Ganiyat is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from different locations and at different times. These options provide flexibility for busy schedules, varied comfort levels with communication styles, and ongoing connection when in-person meetings are not possible.
