Victoria Olanipekun, BACP

Victoria Olanipekun is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger and depression. She writes in plain terms and aims to make the first steps less overwhelming. Victoria uses practical conversation and steady support so people can start to feel more in control.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. Sessions focus on understanding patterns, noticing thoughts and feelings, and trying small changes that can make daily life easier. Mindfulness and trauma-focused ideas are used when helpful to manage intense memories or strong emotions.

Victoria holds BACP, which is listed exactly as provided. She has four years of experience working in therapeutic settings and supporting people through emotional crises and long-term struggles. She tailors sessions to each person rather than applying one fixed method.

In practice, Victoria talks through what matters most to the individual. That may include coping strategies for anxiety, ways to process loss, or steps to address anger and relationship worries such as jealousy. She also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment and family of origin concerns.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Expect a focus on clear goals, practical tools and calmer thinking. People who want compassionate, direct help with day-to-day emotional problems may find this style useful.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. It can help people who struggle with trust, jealousy or fears of abandonment to understand why they respond as they do and practise new ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's concerns, helping them find their own solutions and build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the conversation. Victoria will work collaboratively to decide whether attachment work, cognitive techniques or trauma-focused methods best suit the client's goals and preferences. This may change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins around work breaks. Because the biography does not list specific formats, please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Many people find that talking from their usual surroundings helps them practise new coping skills in real life, while others prefer sessions structured around particular exercises or homework between meetings.
