About Victoria

Victoria Olanipekun offers calm, direct support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or loss. She explains things plainly and helps clients work out manageable steps. Her style is warm and respectful, focused on what a person needs right now.

Victoria uses a mix of practical talking and skills-based work to reduce distress. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship hurts that affect mood.

Background and approach

Trauma-focused methods are used when past events keep causing pain. She has four years' experience and practises in the United Kingdom. Victoria holds BACP registration, which is a professional affiliation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She tailors sessions to each person's situation rather than applying one fixed method. Typical sessions involve setting simple goals, learning coping skills, and trying new ways of responding to difficult feelings. Conversations can cover grief, anger, eating and body image concerns, substance issues, family of origin topics, commitment or abandonment worries, chronic illness, and fatherhood matters.

Victoria aims to make starting therapy straightforward. She listens first, clarifies what matters most, and then works with each person to choose approaches that fit their life. The emphasis is on practical change and steady progress, not quick fixes.

Online support

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people feel and connect today. It helps when trust, closeness or fear of abandonment affect mood or relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, lift mood and change unhelpful behaviour patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to what matters most, discuss options and try methods that match goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as understanding improves. Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, people who process better in writing, or when a shorter contact fits a busy day. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical skills.
