About Ayotunde
Ayotunde Popoola is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, anger, career concerns and major life changes.
She uses a person-centred foundation combined with other approaches to suit what someone needs in the moment. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps and on recognising how patterns of thought and feeling affect everyday behaviour. The tone is straightforward and goal-focused rather than technical.
Ayotunde draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking patterns and to try simple, testable changes. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help name and make sense of strong feelings. Trauma-Focused and Solution-Focused techniques are available when relevant to manage past hurts and to set short-term goals.
People who come for help with anger will work on what triggers their reactions, how they notice the build-up, and what to do differently in the moment. Practical coping strategies and clearer communication skills are part of that work.
Sessions are offered in English and operate from the expectations of standard professional practice in the UK. Fees vary by location and services use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Ayotunde uses person-centred principles alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Client-Centred work focuses on listening and helping people clarify what matters to them and what they want to change. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and tests small, practical changes to reduce distress. EFT helps people identify and name strong emotions so they can respond to them more calmly and communicate feelings more clearly.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ayotunde will discuss options with each person and agree together which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps keep sessions focused and useful rather than prescriptive.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people choose whether they prefer video or other contact methods depending on bandwidth, comfort with being on camera, and the kind of session they want.
