Victoria Olanipekun, BACP

Victoria Olanipekun is a compassionate psychotherapist who focuses on trauma-informed care and emotional wellbeing, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and the lasting effects of abuse. She draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), Attachment Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to tailor interventions that match each person’s needs and circumstances.

With an emphasis on respect, sensitivity and empathy, Victoria creates a supportive therapeutic space where exploration and practical change can happen. She works with clients experiencing stress, trauma, bereavement and long-standing mood concerns, combining practical strategies and reflective dialogue to support coping and recovery. Her approach is collaborative - treatment plans and conversations are adapted to reflect each individual’s goals and lived experience.

Victoria holds the BACP credential - a professional affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and maintains high standards of clinical governance in her work. She encourages those ready to make a change to take the first step, offering steady support and empowerment throughout the therapeutic journey.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Victoria uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and early connection experiences, helping people understand how past bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for issues like attachment concerns, abandonment, and family-of-origin difficulties.

She also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, offering a warm, non-judgemental space where the person’s own goals guide the work. This method supports self-exploration and self-acceptance, and is helpful for depression, low self-worth, and emotional processing.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, providing practical tools to manage anxiety, stress and mood symptoms. CBT complements reflective approaches by adding structured strategies for day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Victoria collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without geographic constraints, helping people maintain continuity of care and steady progress.
