About Victoria
Victoria Olanipekun is a counsellor who helps people facing depression, anxiety and stress. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are. She aims to make sessions feel manageable and practical for everyday life.
She draws on a mix of approaches to suit different needs. Conversations focus on what is causing distress now and what small changes could make life easier. Victoria pays attention to how early attachments and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour.
Background and approach
Her practice includes work with trauma, grief, anger and problems linked to substance use or difficult family relationships. She also supports people struggling with body image, chronic illness, commitment worries and feelings of emptiness. Sessions look at patterns from the past and work on building new ways of coping in the present.
Victoria uses cognitive tools to help reframe unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness practices to ground difficult emotions. She adapts the pace to each person and keeps the focus practical rather than abstract. The goal is clearer thinking and more manageable day-to-day steps.
Victoria holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has four years of clinical experience and sees people across the United Kingdom. Work can be arranged online or by phone to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers clear strategies for challenging unhelpful thinking and for trying out new behaviours to reduce symptoms such as low mood and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and agree a plan together based on symptoms, goals and personal style. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit deeper face-to-face conversations, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins and messaging allows ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
