Victoria Olanipekun

Victoria Olanipekun is a counsellor who helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or depression. She focuses on making each session straightforward so someone worried about food, mood or past hurt can talk and be heard. Victoria uses commonly known approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment work to guide practical steps forward.

She draws on four years of clinical experience working with trauma, abuse and strong emotions like anger and emptiness. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with time given to understand family of origin issues, body image and eating or food-related concerns when they arise. Victoria aims to move from feeling stuck to building everyday coping skills.

Her style is warm and respectful, centred on the person in front of her. Conversations focus on clear goals, manageable strategies and noticing what helps in daily life. She encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Victoria is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers work in English. The plan for therapy is agreed together, and adjustments are made as needs change.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Payment is managed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds. It helps people understand how past relationship experiences shape current feelings and reactions, which can be useful for worries about connection and abandonment.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers clear tools and short exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful thinking styles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different options and pick methods together based on a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity when travel or relocation happens. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick conversation helps, or for sessions without video if that feels more comfortable. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available with this therapist.
