Victoria Olanipekun, BACP

Victoria Olanipekun offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or grief. She aims to make therapy straightforward and respectful, helping people name what they are struggling with and take manageable steps forward.

Victoria uses clear, structured conversations to help clients untangle difficult feelings and patterns. She listens first, then works with each person to agree simple goals and ways to measure progress. Sessions are conversational and focused on what will make day-to-day life easier.

Her work draws on approaches that look at how early relationships affect present reactions. She also uses techniques that help shift unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Mindfulness practices are offered to help ground feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

With four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Victoria combines practical tools with a kind, non-judgemental stance. She has supported people facing trauma, abuse, anger, and the challenges of chronic illness and loss.

Victoria can also support those navigating ageing and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, and family of origin difficulties. She works in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions to suit their needs.

If you want straightforward, empathic help to manage difficult emotions and life transitions, Victoria offers a collaborative way to work through those concerns.

How approach and online therapy work together

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and emotional patterns. It helps people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships and develop different approaches to connection and safety. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and routines that keep problems going and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness practice teaches simple exercises to steady attention and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Victoria will listen to your priorities, try different ways of working when needed, and agree a plan that fits your goals. She aims to be collaborative and to check in on what is helping as therapy progresses.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not specify them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives - for example it can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins, or make it simpler to attend from different locations. It also lets people use techniques learned in sessions in the same environment where they live and cope with daily challenges.
