About Lanre

Lanre Adeyekun is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of professional experience. She has a BA (Hons) in Counselling and an MSc in Psychology of Mental Health & Wellbeing, and a background in nursing and midwifery. Lanre works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and losses, and self-esteem concerns.

Her approach draws on a blend of evidence-based techniques. Sessions often include practical tools from cognitive behavioural methods and focused planning from brief solution-focused work. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time. That mix is used to help people notice what keeps them stuck and try different ways of responding.

Lanre's prior work in nursing and health training informs how she talks about health, chronic illness and pain. She is familiar with the challenges that come from long-term conditions and the practical impact these have on mood and daily life. She also addresses relationship patterns such as attachment and codependency, and the emotional effects of separation, domestic violence and loss.

Sessions are offered in English and Lanre is able to work with international clients. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person selects the online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire and books a first session.

People looking for help with direction after a life change will find clear, practical conversations and step-by-step planning rather than general motivation. Lanre focuses on what can be done now to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.

How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions

Lanre draws from a small set of evidence-based techniques and adapts them to the client's goals. Cognitive behavioural methods focus on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and building small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. Brief solution-focused techniques concentrate on practical next steps and clear goals to make changes feel manageable and measurable.

Psychodynamic ideas are used selectively to look at recurring relationship patterns and how past experiences influence present choices. These discussions help people understand why they repeat patterns and where they might try different responses. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative: the counsellor and client agree what to try based on needs, goals and how a person prefers to work.

If you are considering online sessions, check the available session formats before you book. The therapist's page asks you to complete a short questionnaire to match you and then to schedule a first appointment. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow quieter check-ins that do not need video, or reduce travel time so sessions are easier to keep. Confirm the session options when booking to ensure they suit your routine and technical setup.
