About Ayotunde
Ayotunde Popoola is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She works with issues such as low self-esteem, depression, trauma and anger, and supports clients dealing with career pressures. Ayotunde’s first priority is helping people find small, practical steps they can try between sessions.
She uses a person-centred stance that treats each person as an individual. That means listening closely and shaping conversations around what matters to the client. Ayotunde blends other approaches when useful, including cognitive behavioural ideas and trauma-focused techniques, to match the session to a person’s needs.
Sessions focus on clear goals and straightforward tools. She helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and practise different ways of responding. She also works with emotional connection and attachment concerns, using techniques that aim to reduce distress and improve relationships with oneself and others.
Ayotunde has four years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is recorded here as BACP. Her practice addresses a range of topics from abandonment and adoption-related concerns to communication problems and caregiver stress. She aims to keep sessions simple and practical, so people can use what they learn in everyday life.
If you want to start, the usual next step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The process is intended to be straightforward and to help people move towards clearer thinking and calmer days.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Ayotunde uses a person-centred approach alongside cognitive behavioural and trauma-focused methods. Person-centred work focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are, helping clients set the pace and topics for sessions. Cognitive behavioural ideas look at unhelpful thoughts and habits and introduce practical exercises to change them. Trauma-focused techniques aim to help people process difficult experiences safely and reduce their ongoing impact.Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ayotunde will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a client's needs and goals. She checks in about what is helpful and adapts the approach as the work progresses, so clients can influence how therapy develops.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce time spent travelling, and offer options that suit different energy levels or check-in lengths. Some people prefer a shorter session when they are tight for time, while others use sessions as a longer space for deeper reflection. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements when you start so sessions match your routine and needs.
