Lanre Adeyekun , BACP

Lanre Adeyekun is a counsellor with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She brings a background in nursing and midwifery alongside postgraduate study in maternal and child health and a master's in the psychology of mental health and wellbeing. Lanre offers a calm, respectful approach for people who feel overwhelmed by life.

Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression. She also helps people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, chronic illness or pain, codependency and communication problems. Lanre listens carefully and tailors each session to what feels most useful for the person in front of her.

In sessions she blends practical tools with space to think about patterns and feelings. That can mean looking at unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of doing things, while also exploring where difficult emotions come from. The mix is chosen to suit each person's goals.

She draws on her nursing experience when people face health-related challenges and long-term conditions. That background helps her understand how illness and pain affect mood, relationships and daily life.

Lanre aims to create a warm, authentic atmosphere where people can speak openly. She supports steps toward clearer thinking, calmer responses and better daily coping. Starting therapy can feel hard, and she focuses on steady, practical progress.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Lanre uses a blend of evidence-based techniques to meet different needs. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing alternatives; these are useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because they teach straightforward tools people can use daily. Brief solution-focused work concentrates on identifying small, practical steps and what already works; it can help when people want quick strategies to manage specific problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lanre will talk with each person about goals, experiences and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps shape sessions that feel relevant and doable.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls let people see each other and use visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break, and live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or want regular, short check-ins. These options increase flexibility and help people access consistent support from wherever they are.
