Victoria Olanipekun, BACP

Victoria Olanipekun welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, anger or depression. She introduces a calm, straightforward approach and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Victoria uses clear language so conversations stay practical and focused on what matters to each person.

She uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand close relationships and how past experiences affect current feelings. Victoria also draws on client-centred therapy to keep sessions shaped around the person's needs and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often called CBT, is used when people want to work on thinking patterns and build practical coping skills.

Victoria has four years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She describes her work as trauma-informed, so she is mindful of how painful experiences can affect daily life and relationships. She tailors conversations and plans to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

People come to Victoria for a wide range of issues including abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, chronic pain and illness, family of origin problems, substance issues, and difficulties around fatherhood or commitment. She also supports those dealing with domestic violence, eating-related issues, and feelings of emptiness.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the platform's Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches work online

Victoria combines attachment-based therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to support people in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape emotional responses, which can help with issues like abandonment or attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practising different coping skills to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Victoria will listen to a person's goals, try a method, and adapt the work based on what helps. She emphasises working together to find the best fit rather than imposing a single technique.

Please confirm current session options before booking as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible for people who live abroad to work with a therapist based in the United Kingdom when schedules and time zones align.
