Ayotunde Popoola, BACP

Ayotunde Popoola offers a calm, direct way to work through common life stresses. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, grief or big life changes. Sessions aim to unpack everyday thoughts and habits that keep problems going, and to find small, useful ways to change them.

Ayotunde uses a person-centred foundation combined with practical tools from other approaches. She listens first, then shapes practical steps with each person. That might mean noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, practising emotional awareness, or setting clear short-term goals to restore routine and confidence.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. Conversations move at the client’s pace but are goal-focused when someone wants that. Many sessions involve talking through recent events, testing small changes, and reflecting on what helped or hindered progress.

Ayotunde has four years of experience in counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and holds sessions in English.

Practical matters such as cost work through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Prospective clients should confirm the current session formats before booking.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients find their own answers rather than imposing solutions. This suits people who want a supportive space to talk through feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts and daily habits influence mood and behaviour. It uses simple exercises to notice unhelpful thinking and test new actions, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ayotunde will discuss different methods and agree a plan that matches the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust the focus over time as progress is reviewed.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the session formats available before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy into busy days, saves travel time and makes shorter, more frequent check-ins possible when needed. The therapist will also help decide practical arrangements that best fit a client’s routine and aims.
