About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She draws on a range of therapeutic methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Yoruba and works with people who are dealing with grief, parenting strains, low self-esteem and motivation difficulties.
Ganiyat believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through what feels hard and try practical ways to change everyday thoughts and habits. Her approach is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.
Her practice includes work on trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, addiction and compassion fatigue. She also supports people coping with career change, chronic health challenges, body image, and ageing concerns. Ganiyat addresses relationship patterns such as attachment and communication problems.
She uses several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based methods. These are adapted to each person’s goals rather than offered as a one-size-fits-all solution.
Clients can expect a supportive, non-judgemental space where practical steps are tried alongside reflective conversation. Ganiyat asks about what matters most to you and works with you to build clearer routines, cope with setbacks and strengthen everyday habits that support wellbeing.

Approaches that shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and difficulties with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that maintain distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, sleep and eating issues. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships affect current trust and closeness, and it can help with intimacy and communication concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to explore your goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that suit you. Decisions about which methods to use are revisited as therapy progresses so the plan stays relevant to your needs.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use tools and worksheets between sessions to practise new habits in daily life. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pace and tasks so online therapy becomes a practical part of everyday routines.
