About Ayotunde
Ayotunde Popoola offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or major life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping clients name their concerns and work through next steps. Ayotunde uses straightforward conversation and focused activities to untangle difficult emotions and restore a sense of agency.
Ayotunde draws on person-centred counselling alongside a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She tailors sessions so conversations stay relevant and usable.
How Ayotunde works
Short-term goals and simple coping strategies are often balanced with deeper emotional work when needed. Her background includes four years working as a counsellor and practice-based experience in a range of emotional difficulties. She holds BACP accreditation, which indicates professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Ayotunde uses that framework to guide ethical practice and ongoing development. In therapy she may use cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns, solution-focused steps to map small changes, and trauma-focused approaches when past hurt affects current life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas help when strong emotions feel stuck and need clear attention.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with space for feeling and reflection. Ayotunde aims to help people build practical strategies for daily life while also exploring deeper patterns that shape behaviour and relationships.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions; it is useful for anyone needing a respectful space to make sense of feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, often helping with anxiety and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides ways to gently address past harm and reduce its impact on daily life by working at a pace the person finds manageable.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Ayotunde aims to work together with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as therapy progresses and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from anywhere, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging can fit brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work going even when circumstances change.
