Victoria OlanipekunBACP

Victoria Olanipekun is a counsellor who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She works in plain, direct ways so clients can talk through what matters most. Victoria welcomes people who are finding day-to-day coping hard and those affected by trauma or difficult life changes.

She uses practical tools and steady listening in sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and Client-Centred principles shape how she works. That means she helps clients spot unhelpful thinking, notice relationship patterns, and set goals that feel manageable.

Victoria draws on four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential listed in her profile. She keeps her work focused on what each person needs and adapts plans as progress unfolds.

In practice she offers a calm space to name painful experiences, including trauma, abuse, loss and long-term health struggles. She also supports people dealing with anger, body image issues, substance concerns and family of origin difficulties. Conversations are paced to suit each person’s comfort and readiness.

Victoria emphasises collaboration. She will help you choose approaches and steps that fit your goals. If you are weighing starting therapy, she invites you to take a simple first step and complete the site matching process to arrange an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps by looking at how early relationships shape current patterns now. It supports people who notice repeated trust or closeness problems and helps them try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and managing stress through practical steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods suit the goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process is ongoing and can be adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking. Online therapy can help fit counselling into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to attend from different locations. It also makes regular appointments more achievable for those balancing work, appointments and family commitments.
