How Ayotunde adapts therapeutic approaches online
Ayotunde draws from person-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and following the client’s pace, helping people feel heard and understood as they talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers simple exercises to test and change unhelpful thoughts.She may also use emotionally-focused ideas to look at attachment and how relationships affect mood. The emphasis is on practical steps and emotional understanding, and deciding together which approach fits the problem and the person. Choosing the right way of working is a shared process based on a client’s goals and preferences.
