About Victoria

Victoria Olanipekun offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger or low mood. She presents a straightforward, warm approach so conversations feel manageable even when subjects are difficult. Victoria is based in the United Kingdom and uses her BACP registration as part of how she frames her practice.

She focuses on helping people make sense of painful experiences and manage the day-to-day effects of distress.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be collaborative - clients set the priorities and Victoria helps them identify steps they can try between appointments. Simple, evidence-informed tools are used alongside careful listening. Victoria draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Mindfulness practices are offered to build grounding skills and reduce rumination. Her work is trauma-informed, so safety, pacing and choice guide the process when painful memories are discussed.

She adapts the pace to what a person finds manageable and helps create plans for coping during difficult moments. Victoria speaks English and has four years' clinical experience. She supports people remotely through video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, and will work with international clients.

Sessions are organised via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary with location and availability.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and try different responses in everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It works well for anxiety, low mood and stress and translates into clear tasks and worksheets that fit remote work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest which methods might help most. This is a collaborative process and plans are adapted as progress is made or needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let conversations feel close to face-to-face, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change, while still focusing on the practical tools discussed in sessions.
