Lanre Adeyekun, BACP

Lanre Adeyekun combines health and counselling experience with a straightforward, compassionate approach. She holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling and an MSc in Psychology of Mental Health & Wellbeing, and she brings three years of professional counselling practice to her work. Lanre also has a background in nursing and midwifery in the NHS, plus additional qualifications in maternal and child health and as a health trainer.

She offers a calm, respectful space for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. Sessions focus on helping people make sense of what they are facing. Lanre aims to tailor support to each person’s life and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her way of working draws on several evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, brief solution-focused work, and psychodynamic ideas. In practice this can mean learning skills to manage difficult thoughts, trying small changes that build confidence, and looking at how past experiences shape current responses.

Lanre’s nursing and health-training background means she is used to discussing physical health alongside emotional concerns. She is comfortable talking about chronic pain, illness, and disability as part of a person’s emotional picture. That experience also informs how she supports people facing bereavement, relationship separation, and trauma.

She describes her style as warm and authentic, aiming to listen carefully and respond with practical suggestions when they help. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Lanre uses a mix of evidence-based techniques that suit different problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching practical coping strategies. Brief solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable steps and the strengths a person already has, which can be useful when someone needs quick ways to feel more in control. Psychodynamic ideas look at how earlier relationships and experiences influence current feelings and reactions, which can help with patterns like attachment issues or repeated relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, history, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. Plans can be adjusted as therapy continues so the work stays relevant to the persons needs.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow sessions during a lunch break or from a quieter place that suits the person. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to deliver focused skill-building, reflective work, or brief solution-focused check-ins depending on what the person needs.
