About Ayotunde

Ayotunde Popoola is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. She works with clients who are coping with grief, trauma, anger and career concerns. Ayotunde aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so parents and carers can follow along easily.

She uses a person-centred style that focuses on the individual's experience. That means listening closely and adapting sessions to what each person brings. Ayotunde also combines ideas from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused work when it fits the client’s goals.

In practice she aims to help people build coping skills and notice patterns that hold them back. Sessions include talking through difficult memories, trying out small behavioural changes, and setting achievable steps forward. The therapist keeps language simple and concrete during these conversations.

Ayotunde has a BACP credential, which is recorded as provided. She has four years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

Her wider focus covers issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, body image and domestic violence. People who want to begin are asked to use the platform’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

Step 3

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to create a respectful, listening environment where people can find their own solutions. It is useful for building self-awareness and tackling issues like low self-esteem or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression and managing day-to-day stress.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and working through the impact of traumatic events, using paced, step-by-step methods to reduce distress and build coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is made.

Check the session options before booking to confirm how meetings are held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to maintain continuity when circumstances change, while the therapist tailors interventions to what works in your everyday life.
