Ayotunde Popoola

Ayotunde Popoola offers a calm, straightforward way of working for people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life change. She uses simple, evidence-informed approaches to help people notice patterns, manage mood and make practical changes. Ayotunde writes plainly and listens closely so clients can feel understood and start to make small shifts that matter.

Ayotunde trained and practises with a BACP registration. She combines a person-centred style with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused work. That mix means sessions can focus on understanding feelings, then move on to practical skills for day-to-day coping.

Sessions are aimed at things like low mood, worry, anger, self-esteem and career stress. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, attachment concerns, codependency, and recovery from domestic violence or other abuse. Her approach acknowledges how past loss or abandonment can shape current reactions and relationships.

In a typical meeting Ayotunde invites clear, direct conversation about what is happening now and what would feel better. She uses short-term, solution-focused steps alongside deeper emotional work when it is needed. Clients are encouraged to set concrete goals and test small changes between sessions.

With four years' professional experience in the United Kingdom, Ayotunde aims to make therapy practical and reachable. People who prefer straightforward language and a collaborative pace often find her style helpful.

How Ayotunde uses therapeutic approaches online

Ayotunde blends person-centred work with cognitive behavioural therapy and trauma-focused techniques to help people online. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, understanding relationship so clients can talk through what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and offers practical strategies to reduce worry, low mood and unhelpful habits. Trauma-focused therapy helps people unpack difficult past events and learn ways to manage strong emotional reactions while building safety in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work with each person to find the best fit. That usually means discussing current problems, goals and preferences, then trying an approach for a few sessions to see if it helps. This collaborative stance lets the work shift over time from immediate coping to deeper emotional processing as needed.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking to confirm how meetings are run. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when life is busy. It also lets the therapist guide practical skills and homework between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.
