Ayotunde Popoola, BACP

Ayotunde Popoola welcomes people facing turning points and heavy emotions. She offers a calm, listening presence for those dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anger or career uncertainty. Ayotunde uses everyday language and steady support so people can talk through what feels overwhelming and find clearer next steps.

Ayotunde works from a person-centred foundation, which means the conversation follows each person’s priorities. She blends that with approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, emotionally-focused work and trauma-focused methods when these suit the situation. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping skills and build gradual change.

Her style is practical and collaborative. She helps clients break problems down into manageable pieces and sets small, realistic goals together. The work can include examining thoughts and behaviours, exploring emotional responses, and practising new ways of coping in everyday life.

Ayotunde has four years of experience and is associated with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is shown as BACP in her qualifications. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.

How her approaches translate to online work

Ayotunde uses a person-centred framework that lets the client lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and supports. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them, which can be especially useful during life transitions and times of uncertainty.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on noticing thought and behaviour patterns and testing new responses. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful routines by teaching practical steps to change day-to-day reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ayotunde will discuss different methods with each person and agree together which to try first, adjusting as progress is made. The aim is a collaborative plan that fits the client’s goals and preferences rather than a fixed prescription.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. They also allow people to continue work when relocating within the same country. Check the booking details to learn which session formats are offered and how they might fit into your routine.
