   About Olusayo

   Olusayo Ayegbusi is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with parenting, family conflict, low self-esteem, career uncertainty and sleep problems. Her approach is calm and respectful, and she adapts conversations to what each person needs in the moment.

   She focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. That might include small changes to routines, new ways to talk about problems, or short exercises to boost confidence. Olusayo draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to find their own reasons for change.

   Her sessions also use client-centred principles to keep the conversation focused on the person's goals. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when unhelpful thoughts and habits are getting in the way. She can also work with solution-focused and trauma-informed methods as appropriate.

   Olusayo aims to make sessions straightforward and easy to follow. People often leave with one or two clear ideas to try before the next meeting. She tailors the pace and focus to each person, whether the priority is parenting support, a career decision, or rebuilding confidence.

   She works in Australia and speaks English and Yoruba. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to reach out and begin that work.

2. How her approaches translate to online counselling

   Olusayo uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their own reasons for change and build small, achievable steps. That approach suits decisions about parenting, career moves and improving daily routines. Client-Centred Therapy underpins her work by keeping the conversation focused on each person's priorities and values. This helps people feel heard and guides practical next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used when unhelpful thoughts or habits are getting in the way, offering simple techniques to test ideas and try different behaviours.
   
   Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Olusayo works collaboratively to choose what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as progress is made. The aim is to match the work to what the person wants to change, not to apply a fixed method.
   
   Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue conversations from different locations, while the therapist and person agree on a plan that suits their daily life.
