About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, anger and issues around self-esteem and motivation.
Her approach is practical and collaborative. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small changes that make daily life easier. She draws on a range of methods to suit each person rather than using a single technique for everyone.
Background and approach
Ganiyat uses tools from therapies such as cognitive behavioural approaches and acceptance and commitment ideas to help manage thoughts and emotions. She also brings attachment-focused and client-centred ways of working to explore relationship patterns and build strengths. When needed she includes strategies from dialectical behaviour approaches to help with emotional regulation.
Work in sessions might include noticing unhelpful patterns, trying new ways of responding, and practising short exercises between meetings. She explains things in simple language and helps people set practical steps they can use at home and at work. Ganiyat offers appointments in English and Yoruba and is available to work with international clients.
She supports people dealing with parenting stress, career changes, chronic illness, addiction concerns, neurodiversity issues and many other challenges listed on her profile.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time if something is not working well.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and chat or messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting around daily life.
