Olusayo Ayegbusi, AASW

Olusayo Ayegbusi is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with parenting, self-esteem, career uncertainty and family conflict. She also supports those facing sleep problems, money worries and the particular questions that come with midlife change.

Olusayo takes a respectful and sensitive approach. She listens first, then adapts the conversation to each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. She aims to make the room feel calm and approachable for people who may be nervous about starting therapy.

Her work often combines direct problem-solving with efforts to strengthen confidence and motivation. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, setting realistic goals, or trying new behaviours between sessions. She is comfortable addressing difficult topics such as domestic violence, immigration stress and caregiver fatigue.

Olusayo has experience supporting people with ageing and geriatric issues, and with multicultural concerns that come from moving between cultures. She also helps people explore life purpose and forgiveness when those themes are important.

She tailors the pace and tools to each person. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Olusayo acknowledges that courage while helping people move forward in manageable ways.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client's lead to build understanding and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thinking, feeling and behaviour and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and strengthens commitment to achievable goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Olusayo will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as priorities change or new issues emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists who offer remote sessions also often use practical exercises and homework that translate well to a digital setting, helping people apply what they practise between appointments.
