Lanre Adeyekun, BACP

Lanre Adeyekun is an integrative therapist who supports adults and young people experiencing complex psychological and emotional challenges. She draws on a blend of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), brief solution-focused therapy and psychodynamic approaches, and brings warmth and authenticity to her practice.

Lanre has three years of professional counselling experience and holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling and an MSc in Psychology of Mental Health and Wellbeing. Her background also includes more than 20 years working in nursing and midwifery within the NHS, alongside qualifications as a Health Trainer and a postgraduate diploma in Maternal and Child Health. She holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence, among other concerns. Lanre provides a supportive space where clients can begin to make sense of difficult experiences and develop practical ways to cope.

Therapy is tailored to each person’s needs, with an emphasis on respect, sensitivity and compassion as clients take steps toward clearer goals and improved wellbeing.

Evidence-based approaches and online support

Lanre commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to manage symptoms like anxiety, low mood and stress. She also draws on brief solution-focused therapy, a short-term, goal-oriented approach that concentrates on building practical strategies and small changes to move clients toward their preferred outcomes. Psychodynamic approaches are used as well to explore how past experiences and patterns may influence present feelings and relationships, helping to deepen self-understanding and insight.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lanre works with each client to consider their unique needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time so the therapeutic plan fits and evolves with progress.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living at a distance. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, try different session formats, and access support from registered professionals and therapists regardless of location.
