About Ayotunde
Ayotunde Popoola is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She uses a warm, person-centred style to make it easier to talk about hard things. Sessions are practical and paced to each person.
The first meeting usually looks at immediate concerns and practical next steps. Ayotunde draws on several approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments.
Background and approach
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps access and name strong feelings, while Solution-Focused Therapy targets concrete goals and steps that fit daily life. Her practice supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also works with career stress, body image and issues linked to attachment, abandonment and adoption and foster care.
Ayotunde offers a calm space to talk through these concerns and build coping strategies. Ayotunde has four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English.
She does not take international clients. Sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Many people find the range of formats useful for fitting therapy around work and family life.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ayotunde will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the way she works based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and paced to your comfort and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face to face when needed. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing notes or a way to work when a call is not practical. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and busy days while still using the approaches described above.
