About Victoria
Victoria Olanipekun is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and depression. She also focuses on related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, body image, substance-related problems and family of origin difficulties.
Victoria uses a mix of well-known approaches to help people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships or health. In sessions she talks through immediate problems and practical steps. She aims to make clear sense of what is happening now, and what small changes might help day to day.
Her background emphasises trauma-informed work and attachment-based ways of understanding relationships. That means attention to how past relationships affect current reactions and patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioural methods to look at thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress.
Mindfulness techniques are offered alongside talking approaches to support grounding and present-moment noticing. Trauma-focused methods are used when past experiences continue to affect mood, sleep or relationships. The overall way of working is conversational and goal-focused, with time set aside to agree priorities and next steps.
Practicalities are discussed up front, including what someone hopes to change and how sessions will fit into their life. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are carried out in English. Prospective clients are encouraged to complete the matching questionnaire to arrange a first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how earlier relationships shape present feelings and reactions. Online conversations using this approach can help people notice relationship patterns that keep them feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical steps to change unhelpful cycles; it can be useful for anxiety, low mood and getting clearer about daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will try methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process helps shape the methods used in future sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and remove the need to be on camera if someone prefers audio only. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical advantages to help maintain regular contact while working towards agreed goals.
