About Olusayo
Olusayo Ayegbusi is an AASW social worker practising in Australia with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are feeling stuck after changes in work, relationships or health, and with those needing help around parenting, self-esteem, career decisions and family conflict. She also supports concerns about sleeping, coaching for next steps, and thinking about life purpose.
Olusayo listens to how problems show up day to day. In sessions she talks through practical steps and explores what matters most to each person. She uses straightforward discussion rather than labels, and keeps examples concrete so people can try things between meetings.
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside solution-focused and trauma-informed methods. That mix helps with confidence, motivation and specific problems such as sleep or communication. Sessions often include goal-setting, checking what works, and adjusting plans when needed.
She has worked with clients on caregiver stress, ageing and geriatric concerns, immigration issues and multicultural challenges. Olusayo also helps with money and financial worries, forgiveness and recovery after domestic violence.
Sessions are conducted in English and Yoruba. Practical next steps are explained clearly so people know what to expect at their first meeting. If someone wants to try a few focused sessions to test a new direction, she can shape sessions around those aims.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. It helps people clarify values and goals by using their own words and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It breaks concerns into manageable steps and teaches practical skills for sleep, confidence and everyday problems.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. It supports clear decision-making by exploring motivation and barriers in a collaborative way.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest ways to blend methods. That discussion is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in during a break, or choosing a phone option when less bandwidth is available. These practical arrangements help sessions slot into day-to-day routines without needing to travel.
