Ayotunde Popoola is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She works with clients on depression, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, anger and career concerns.

She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's experience and priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Solution-Focused approaches when they fit the goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her toolkit for people affected by abuse or deeply distressing events.

How therapeutic approaches work online with Ayotunde

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens carefully, reflects feelings and supports clients to find their own answers. This approach helps when someone needs to rebuild confidence or make sense of strong emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Ayotunde will collaborate with each person to agree what methods suit their goals and comfort level. She adapts the mix of approaches as work progresses so sessions stay relevant and purposeful.

Online therapy gives practical options that fit busy lives. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits short check-ins or quieter communication. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
