About Olusayo
Olusayo Ayegbusi is an AASW-accredited social worker with three years of professional experience in Australia. She helps people who are dealing with parenting challenges, family conflict, self-esteem and career uncertainty. She also supports those who struggle with sleep and who want practical coaching to make changes.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions focus on clear steps that people can try between meetings. She uses conversation to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, and to map small experiments that test new ways of coping.
Olusayo works with practical goals such as improving confidence, sorting career options, and managing caregiving stress. She also addresses multicultural concerns, immigration-related stress and money worries. When domestic violence or trauma are present, she draws on trauma-focused methods alongside problem-solving work.
She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centred listening and motivational interviewing techniques. That mix aims to clarify what matters most to the person and to build workable strategies. Solution-focused ideas are used to spot existing strengths and to set achievable next steps.
Sessions are conducted in English and Yoruba. Prospective clients will want to confirm current session formats before booking. To begin, users choose the online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Cognitive and Practical Approaches Work Online
Olusayo combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centred work in a way that suits online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It can help with anxiety about parenting, sleep routines and work stress. Client-centred methods give people space to say what matters most and to reflect on choices without pressure.Motivational interviewing is another part of her toolkit. It helps when someone feels stuck about change, such as shifting career direction or adjusting to caregiving responsibilities. That method is short-term and goal-oriented, and it supports deciding which steps to try first.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences and together they will pick methods that fit the person's needs. This collaborative process means plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, as session formats are set by the therapist's practice. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy weeks, allow a quieter setting for focused conversation, or enable shorter check-ins when time is limited. These practical benefits help people carry learning into daily life without having to rearrange large parts of their routine.
