Victoria Olanipekun

Victoria Olanipekun works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and the effects of trauma. She offers a calm, straightforward way of talking through difficult feelings. Victoria aims to make initial steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

She uses a mix of approaches to meet practical needs in sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, for example, looks at thinking patterns and small behaviour changes. Attachment-based work examines how early relationships shape current reactions and close connections. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people notice and steady difficult thoughts and sensations.

Victoria has four years of experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She draws on that background when planning sessions and checking progress. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including anger, depression, and grief as well as issues such as abandonment, body image, chronic illness and fatherhood matters.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and practical strategies alongside listening and reflection. Conversations are tailored to what each person needs that week, and plans are adjusted as things change. That could mean trying a short exercise in session, rehearsing a new way of speaking to yourself, or working through a distressing memory at a pace the client can manage.

People who choose Victoria often want a direct, respectful counsellor who combines structured tools with warm support. She encourages people to bring what matters most to them and to set the pace for change.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape patterns in close connections. In practice this means noticing how past experiences affect reactions now and finding new ways to relate. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build different habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose ways of working that fit their needs and goals. That might mean starting with CBT exercises, then adding attachment-focused conversations and mindfulness practice if those suit the person's situation.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to include mindfulness exercises or written worksheets between sessions so progress continues outside appointment time.
