About Victoria
Victoria Olanipekun is a BACP counsellor who helps people dealing with stress and anxiety. She offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to make conversations simple and focused. Her style suits those who want practical steps and steady support.
Victoria uses approaches that centre the person's experience. Sessions are shaped around what each person brings, not a fixed agenda. She listens for patterns in relationships and thoughts, and helps people try new ways of responding to old problems.
Background and approach
Her work includes trauma, grief, anger and depression. She also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, body image concerns, addiction, chronic illness, family problems and fatherhood issues. Victoria adapts conversations to the problem at hand and the pace the person prefers.
She blends cognitive behavioural ideas with mindfulness and attachment-focused thinking. That can mean noticing unhelpful thoughts, practising small present-moment skills, or looking at how early relationships influence current feelings. Sessions aim to be practical and relatable rather than clinical.
Victoria has four years of experience and holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy fit daily life.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape feelings and expectations now. Online sessions can help people recognise patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. In sessions people learn to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods and adjust the plan together. This collaborative process means the approach can change as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people talk face to face from different locations and help maintain a steady weekly rhythm. Phone sessions are useful when a simpler check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, note-taking between sessions or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
