About Ayotunde

Ayotunde Popoola is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Ayotunde also supports those coping with depression, anger and trauma-related concerns.

She brings a calm, person-centred stance and practical strategies to each session. Ayotunde trained to work from a person-centred perspective and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses alongside other approaches. Her style is collaborative - she listens first and then suggests straightforward ways to tackle problems.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on small, doable steps rather than overwhelming theory. Her practice draws on trauma-focused methods and cognitive behavioural ideas when these fit a person's needs. She also uses emotionally-focused and solution-minded techniques to help people manage feelings and move forward.

The mix is chosen to suit the individual rather than follow a fixed script. Typical work includes sorting out day-to-day coping, rebuilding confidence, and finding clearer ways to manage relationships and career stress. Ayotunde often helps people make sense of painful past events, and find new ways to respond to triggers and reminders.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different routines. New enquirers complete a short matching questionnaire to begin, and scheduling is then arranged to fit both parties. Ayotunde aims to help people build steady progress one step at a time.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions

Ayotunde combines trauma-focused therapy and client-centred work to help people process difficult events and regain day-to-day stability. Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past harm affects current feelings and responses, and repeats small, manageable steps to reduce distress. Client-centred therapy prioritises empathic listening, helping people name their experience and decide what matters most to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful patterns and test new ways of thinking. CBT gives clear, short-term tasks that can be practised between sessions and tracked over time. Together these approaches are discussed openly, and Ayotunde helps the person choose which methods feel right based on their goals and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video is useful for deeper conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone calls can be easier when less bandwidth is available or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, frequent support. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare and daily routines.
