About Victoria
Victoria Olanipekun is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Victoria uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches to look at relational patterns and to put the person’s experience at the centre of the work.
In practical terms she helps people talk through painful events, manage strong feelings, and develop small changes they can use day to day. For anger this might mean learning ways to recognise triggers, pause before reacting, and choose responses that match personal values. For trauma and grief she offers trauma-focused techniques alongside stabilisation and grounding skills.
Victoria explains options and goals clearly and works collaboratively on a plan. Sessions tend to focus on skills you can practise between meetings as well as topics to discuss in the session itself. She uses ideas from mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and from CBT to shape behavioural changes.
Her approach is direct and respectful. She aims to help people build practical tools for coping and to reduce the things that cause repeated distress. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Victoria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas in her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change patterns of feeling and behaviour. Attachment-Based work looks at how early and current relationships shape responses to stress and anger, and helps people try different ways of relating.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She will work with each person to agree which methods suit their needs and goals, and adapt plans as things change. This is a collaborative arrangement where skills practice and short-term goals are reviewed together.
The therapist’s biography does not specify which online formats she uses, so please confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people take part without travel time. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require camera use, which can help on noisy days or when time is limited.
