About Ayotunde
Ayotunde Popoola is a counsellor who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to make daily life easier. Ayotunde uses everyday language and straight talk to help someone feel understood and heard.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions shape reactions and relationships. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to offer a warm, non-judgemental space and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and small changes that make a difference.
Background and approach
These approaches are blended to suit each person rather than applied the same way to everyone. Ayotunde has four years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her work includes support for people coping with trauma and abuse, anger, career stress and major life changes.
She also focuses on attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, codependency and communication problems. Sessions use straightforward techniques such as exploring difficult feelings, practising new ways of thinking and setting clear, achievable goals. Conversations may include looking at past experiences to understand present reactions, and finding simple tools to manage panic, low mood or repeated conflict.
Ayotunde offers sessions in English from the United Kingdom. She combines empathy with practical skills to help people build resilience and move forward with clearer choices.

Online support
How Ayotunde uses therapy approaches online
Ayotunde draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand how feelings drive responses and relationships. This approach can be useful for anyone who wants to make sense of painful emotions and change how they show up for themselves and others. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy to create an accepting, non-judgemental space where someone can talk openly and be listened to. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ayotunde will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. The choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses to suit what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and messaging lets you reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional insight.
