Victoria Olanipekun, BACP

Victoria Olanipekun is a compassionate, trauma-informed psychotherapist who supports people coping with anxiety, depression, grief, anger and the impacts of abuse. With four years of clinical experience, she uses evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy and attachment-focused work to help clients understand patterns, develop practical coping skills and move toward greater emotional balance.

She is committed to maintaining high standards of clinical governance and adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s individual needs, offering a respectful and sensitive therapeutic space. Victoria has experience helping clients manage stress, process loss, address trauma and work through anger, and she brings a steady, empathetic presence to those challenges.

Victoria provides therapy in English and accepts international clients. She holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and denotes professional membership for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Victoria approaches therapy as a collaborative process, working to support and empower people as they take the first steps toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Victoria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, low mood and stress. CBT is structured and skills-focused, making it well suited to online formats where clear steps and exercises can be shared and reviewed.

Attachment-Based Therapy helps explore early relationship patterns and how they influence current emotional responses and attachment styles. This approach can be useful when difficulties with trust, abandonment, or relational patterns are contributing to distress.

Victoria also incorporates Trauma-Focused techniques when past traumatic experiences are central to a client's concerns, working carefully to process painful memories and strengthen coping resources. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Victoria will work with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she tailors the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy with registered professionals offers practical flexibility: sessions by video call or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from different locations.
