About Ganiyat
Ganiyat Olaleye is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She also supports those facing relationship strain, grief, addiction concerns and day-to-day challenges such as sleep or eating difficulties.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. Ganiyat uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
She aims to help people notice what matters to them, learn strategies to manage difficult feelings and rebuild confidence over time. Sessions are conversational and grounded in real life. Ganiyat listens for strengths and practical steps clients can use between meetings.
She helps people set small goals, try new ways of coping and reflect on progress at a steady pace. She brings particular attention to issues around attachment, self-esteem, and intimacy-related concerns. Additional focus areas include parenting strains, career stress, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to chronic illness or caregiving.
Ganiyat communicates in English and Yoruba. Her listed credentials include BACP and NCPS, which are shown as provided documents. If someone prefers working remotely from another country, international arrangements are accepted but should be confirmed when booking.

How Ganiyat works online
Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods make sense for their situation and goals. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and sessions can blend several approaches to match what is most helpful.
The biography does not list specific remote formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break and make sessions accessible across locations, including international arrangements. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways of meeting people remotely, and the practical aim is the same: to help clients practise new skills, process difficult experiences and track steady progress.
