About Victoria

Victoria Olanipekun is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works in straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel approachable for someone who is worried or unsure about starting therapy.

She uses practical methods drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. She also draws on client-centred principles to make space for each person's experience and to shape the pace of work to their needs.

Background and approach

Attachment-based ideas are part of her thinking too, helping people understand how early relationships can affect feelings and reactions now. Mindfulness techniques are used to build calm and to practise noticing thoughts without getting swept up by them. Victoria holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP.

She has four years of experience working with the concerns listed above and brings a respectful, sensitive style to conversations about difficult topics. Sessions can focus on immediate coping strategies as well as longer term patterns that keep people stuck. She encourages collaboration and will adapt the work to what a person hopes to achieve over time.

How these approaches work online

Victoria often uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people make sense of distressing memories and reduce their ongoing impact. This approach looks at how past events affect current feelings and helps develop safer ways of coping. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape expectations and reactions, and to build more supported ways of relating to self and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Victoria will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as needed. Conversations begin with what matters most to the person and then the plan is adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever is convenient. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family life and travel.
