Lanre Adeyekun

Lanre Adeyekun is a counsellor with three years of professional experience. She holds a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Counselling and a Master of Science in Psychology of Mental Health & Wellbeing, and she is a BACP member. Her background also includes over 20 years working in nursing and midwifery in the NHS and a post-graduate diploma in maternal and child health.

Lanre sees adults and young people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem difficulties. She works in a straightforward way, offering a calm space to talk through painful or confusing experiences. Sessions aim to help people make small, practical changes and to understand their patterns of coping.

Her approach draws on a blend of techniques such as cognitive behavioural methods, brief solution-focused work and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets her tailor the work to what feels most useful for each person. She emphasises warmth, respect and sensitivity when helping someone map out a plan for change.

Lanre also supports people facing issues like attachment and abandonment, codependency, dissociation, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, and the emotional effects of divorce or domestic violence. She pays attention to how physical health and long-term conditions affect mood and coping.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Lanre aims to make initial sessions clear and practical, helping people set goals and decide what to try next. If you want to start, follow the site process to match and schedule a session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Lanre draws on cognitive behavioural techniques that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes; this can help with anxiety, mood and stress by giving clear steps to try. She also uses brief solution-focused methods, which concentrate on what is already working and on building practical strategies for short-term goals. Finally, psychodynamic ideas may be used to notice recurring patterns in relationships and emotions so a person can choose different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lanre will discuss options with each person and adapt based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where approaches can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

The profile does not list which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make therapy easier to fit into daily life, for example allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, removing travel time, or making it simpler to attend when mobility or health issues make travel difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to maintain regular contact and keep momentum between sessions.
