About Ayotunde
Ayotunde Popoola is a counsellor who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety and major life changes. She uses plain talk and calm presence to help clients name what feels difficult and work out practical next steps. Ayotunde aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone checking a profile on their phone.
Ayotunde practises person-centred counselling, often combining it with cognitive behavioural and emotion-focused ideas to suit each person's needs. That means she listens first, then offers tools to change unhelpful thinking and to make emotions easier to understand. She emphasises small, realistic steps that fit into daily life.
Her work covers grief, self-esteem, depression, trauma and anger, as well as career concerns and coping after big changes. She also pays attention to issues linked to abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care when these come up in conversations. Ayotunde aims to help people build resilience and clearer communication skills.
Ayotunde holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has four years of clinical experience working with a range of concerns and personal situations in the United Kingdom. Her approach is adaptable and practical.
Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her. Ayotunde encourages collaborative goal-setting and regular review so therapy can change as needs do. If someone is unsure what therapy will look like, she works step by step to make it clear and achievable.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Ayotunde often draws on client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy in her online work. Client-centred counselling means she listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers; it suits anyone who wants a reflective space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ayotunde will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative decision rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to try out a therapist and see whether their style feels like a good match without a long commute.Areas of expertise
