About Victoria
Victoria Olanipekun is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger and depression. Her focus includes issues such as attachment difficulties, body image, substance concerns and family of origin problems.
Victoria keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She uses clear ways to look at thoughts and patterns, skills to manage difficult feelings, and exercises to reduce overwhelm. Clients can expect practical steps alongside time to talk through painful events and losses.
Her background combines several therapy approaches. Victoria draws on cognitive behavioural methods to spot unhelpful thinking and change reactions. She also uses client-centred ideas, which place the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, and attachment-informed work to map relationship patterns that affect current distress.
For people coping with trauma, Victoria uses trauma-focused techniques aimed at processing past harm and reducing ongoing symptom impact. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with stress and to steady attention in the moment.
Sessions are framed around what the individual wants to work on. Victoria invites people to set goals and to review progress together. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking a first session.
How Victoria’s approaches work in online sessions
Victoria draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments. CBT often suits anxiety, stress and mood concerns where practical changes to thoughts and actions can reduce distress.She also uses attachment-informed work, which looks at how early and ongoing relationship patterns shape current feelings and reactions. This approach can help with issues such as abandonment worries, attachment difficulties and relational triggers. Client-centred methods are present too, meaning the client’s experience guides the pace and focus of sessions.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and preferences and pick methods that feel workable. They check in regularly and adjust techniques as things change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, reduce travel time, and allow sessions during a lunch break or from a quieter room. It can also let some people have shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage more comfortably.
