Victoria Olanipekun, BACP

Victoria Olanipekun is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the effects of trauma and abuse. She presents a calm, respectful approach and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel approachable. Victoria uses everyday language and straightforward tools to help people feel steadier in day-to-day life.

Her practice draws on approaches that centre relationships and present-moment thinking. She often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. Attachment-based ideas help when relationships and early caregiving affect current feelings and reactions. Mindfulness tools are used to bring attention back to the present and to reduce overwhelming emotions.

Victoria has four years of professional experience and holds BACP status, which is noted in her background. She has worked with common concerns such as anger, family-of-origin issues, body image, commitment worries, and the emotional impact of chronic illness and disability. She also supports people dealing with substance and eating-related issues and recovery from domestic violence.

In sessions she aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs. That means practical steps you can try between meetings, alongside space to talk things through. Her style is collaborative and respectful, with an emphasis on helping people develop skills they can use outside sessions.

If you are living with health challenges and navigating the emotional effects, Victoria includes those concerns in her work and can help you manage their day-to-day impact. To start, the site matching process helps pair you based on your needs and preferences.

How her approaches translate to online work

Victoria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small changes in daily life, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Attachment-based ideas are also important in her work and help people understand how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Victoria says she will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting techniques, and combining approaches when useful so the work meets practical needs.

Online sessions can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care when circumstances change, while still focusing on practical skills and talking through emotional issues.
