Monday - Friday

9 am - 8 pm.

Hello, I am Ganiyat. You are welcome. You are Never ALONE; I am happy to support you.

I am a compassionate psychological counsellor, psychotherapist and facilitator. I offer therapy sessions for individuals, children and families. I am passionate about my work and adapt my practice to ensure that it is client-centred. I love interacting with people and consider being a part of my clients' positive, life-changing experiences a privilege. My exceptional listening skills, without interrupting or judging my clients, create a strong foundation for report building and trust that allows my clients to feel at ease in their journey of discovery and recovery.

I specialise in working with parents and families who find boundary-setting and parenting challenging. I also facilitate various workshops, such as self-care and financial literacy, for young people and clients recovering from mental health illnesses.

I understand that for healing and growth to occur, there must be a connection. So, I offer a human-to-human connection by showing empathic understanding and providing a safe space, enabling my clients to explore and share freely.

Due to individuals' uniqueness, I collaborate with each client to tailor my approach to meet their needs from their frame, including considering diverse backgrounds, races, and cultural needs. This understanding enhances my client's ability to discover how to solve their own problems and work on their desired changes.

I combine different techniques, including trauma-informed, to support clients presenting with stress, agoraphobia, loss, anxiety, depression, redundancy, relationship problems, fear, work-related stress, COVID-19 effects, suicidal thoughts/ ideation, or children's behavioural challenges. 

HELP IS AVAILABLE; YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I AM HAPPY TO HELP.

I believe in treating others as I would treat myself. So, I aim to provide you with a unique, quality therapeutic experience that would empower you through your journey of self-discovery and recovery. I observe confidentiality (not total privacy to enhance your therapeutic experience), enabling you to explore and express your thoughts and feelings in a nonjudgmental environment. This has always been my focus and has shown in my daily work of providing in-person and online counselling. For example, creating a sense of safety and an empowering environment is at the core of my practice. I always offer inclusive practice for all my clients, showing value and respect for my clients' right to self-governance (autonomy). Doing so enables them to feel safe, secure, heard, understood, supported, and empowered, allowing them to confidently embark on their self-discovery and healing process.

I have worked and am currently working with people of diverse backgrounds. I engage with children, young people, and adults in a long or short therapeutic relationship. These range from age five to sixty with challenging behaviour, anxiety, grief, depression, phobia, guilt, stress, loss, panic attacks, shame, eating disorder, body image problems and relationship issues. I provide a safe space for my clients under the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (Â鶹ԭ´´) framework. I have worked with children in various primary schools and preschool settings, engaging with them during play to enhance their learning and promote positive relationships with them and their primary caregivers, such as parents. The experiences currently serve as valuable tools for facilitating children's therapy sessions. It allows me to build rapport and appropriate therapeutic relationships. Hence, my clients freely expressed, explored and were empowered to achieve and sustain their therapy goals.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

I offer a free 10-15-minute conversation to decide whether counselling/therapy is the right service the client requires, or we can work together.

My initial assessment session is not free. It flows naturally, allowing my clients the right to decide and devise their therapy goals.

Monday - Friday.

Working hours: 9:00 am - 8 pm.

I have space for new clients.

I currently have availability.  

Supervision cost: £50.00 per hour (Qualified Counsellor).

I am an empathetic and supportive supervisor. I always create a safe and open environment where individuals or clients feel comfortable discussing difficult cases and emotional challenges. My unique skill set, as an integrative counsellor, an experienced Early Years practitioner, and manager, positively enhances my clinical role as a supervisor, counsellor, coach, mentor, and facilitator. 

I understand the difference between each role. My goal is to tailor my integrated approach to empower and support you in enhancing your client work. My vision is to create an atmosphere of safety where anyone needing mental health support feels safe, heard, understood, and supported. 

My belief is to treat others as I want to be treated. 

I tailor my work to be relevant to the individual or organisational preference or the presenting issues. I am trained and qualified to deliver my services online via Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and face-to-face. I have an enhanced DBS.
