Lanre AdeyekunBACP

Lanre Adeyekun is a counsellor with a BA (Hons) in Counselling and an MSc in Psychology of Mental Health & Wellbeing. She also holds a postgraduate diploma in Maternal and Child Health and lists a BACP credential. Lanre draws on clinical and healthcare experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns.

She worked in nursing and midwifery in the NHS for more than 20 years before moving into counselling. That background influences how she talks about health, recovery and practical coping. She aims to offer a respectful and warm space where clients can begin to make sense of difficult events.

Lanre uses an integrative approach that combines techniques from several evidence-based therapeutic methods. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person’s needs. She focuses on helping people build coping skills, improve communication, and manage overwhelming feelings.

Her additional interests include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, chronic pain and illness, dissociation, and difficulties that arise after separation or domestic violence. She also works with people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity and complex co-morbidity.

Lanre describes her style as authentic and compassionate. She encourages small, practical steps alongside reflective conversation. If you are worried about pregnancy or childbirth related concerns, she lists Pregnancy and childbirth among her areas of focus and can discuss how that fits your situation.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work

Lanre describes her practice as integrative and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Brief solution-focused methods concentrate on setting small, practical goals and building on what already works in a person’s life, which can be useful for immediate coping and problem-solving. Psychodynamic elements involve looking at patterns and past experiences that shape current feelings and relationships, which can help with attachment and repeated relational difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lanre works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She adjusts pace and focus as the relationship develops so the plan remains practical and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce time spent travelling, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. They can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options. Discuss format and timing when you first connect so sessions fit everyday life.
