About Lanre

Lanre Adeyekun is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling and an MSc in Psychology of Mental Health & Wellbeing. Her background also includes over 20 years working in nursing and midwifery, plus a postgraduate diploma in maternal and child health, and experience as a health trainer.

Lanre works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem difficulties. She also helps people facing attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, relationship communication problems, chronic illness or pain, dissociation, and the emotional impact of separation and domestic violence. Her book of concerns includes guilt, shame, impulsivity and coping after disasters.

In sessions she draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That means she may use activities and talk-based methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns, test new ways of responding, and make small changes that reduce distress. Lanre uses a practical approach aimed at making sense of what is happening now and what has led to it.

Her clinical background in nursing and public health informs a focus on practical coping skills and physical health factors alongside emotional work. Sessions typically look at clear goals, manageable steps and strategies to reduce overwhelm. She encourages realistic pacing and follow-through between sessions.

To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and therapy is provided through a cancellable subscription model.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Lanre draws on evidence-based techniques that include cognitive behavioural methods and psychodynamic-informed work. Cognitive behavioural approaches focus on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that maintain stress and anxiety, then trying practical experiments to change them. Psychodynamic-informed work looks at how past relationships and attachment patterns shape current feelings and reactions, helping people understand recurring relationship issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lanre will discuss options with each person and agree the methods that best fit their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative approach means plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work and family life and reducing travel time. When session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the exact options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly structure online work to allow short check-ins, longer weekly work, or flexible scheduling to help clients maintain continuity while managing everyday demands.
