About Ayotunde
Ayotunde Popoola offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and big life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely to what each person brings. Ayotunde uses straightforward techniques to help people cope, feel steadier and make decisions that suit them.
Ayotunde holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP. She has four years of experience working with a range of emotional difficulties including low self-esteem, depression, anger and trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Her practice also attends to work concerns such as career stress and burnout. Her style centres on a person-centred approach that treats the client as the expert on their life. She combines that with cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns that keep stress and worry going.
She also draws on emotionally focused and trauma-informed ways of working when relationships or past hurts are central to the difficulty. Sessions are practical and paced to the person. Ayotunde focuses on small, manageable steps and clearer thinking so people can try changes between sessions.
Conversations cover feelings, reactions and choices rather than jargon. People can expect a warm, steady presence and an emphasis on what helps now. Ayotunde aims to help people build skills to manage distress, understand their responses and move toward goals that matter to them.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and comfort level. That means trying ideas, reviewing what helps and adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. Video calls are close to face-to-face work, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be helpful for shorter check-ins, while live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in writing and follow up between meetings. These options help people keep continuity of care and make therapy more practical for daily life.
