About Lanre

Lanre Adeyekun is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' professional experience. She works with adults and young people and describes her main concerns as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem and depression.

Lanre trained in counselling and also holds an MSc in Psychology of Mental Health and Wellbeing. Her background includes over 20 years working in nursing and midwifery within the NHS and additional qualifications in health training and maternal and child health. This mix of clinical and public-health experience informs how she thinks about mental health and day-to-day wellbeing.

In sessions she draws on a range of therapeutic approaches, naming Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, brief solution-focused work and psychodynamic ideas. She aims to work in a straightforward way, helping people talk through difficult feelings and notice patterns that get in the way of everyday life.

Lanre commonly supports people coping with loss, abuse, relationship difficulties and persistent low mood. She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, codependency, dissociation, chronic illness and living with multiple health challenges.

Her practice emphasises respectful, attentive conversation and practical steps that can be tried between sessions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule their first session through the online booking flow.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Lanre references evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and brief solution-focused methods. CBT helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and build different ways of responding to anxiety or low mood. Brief solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical changes and clearer short-term goals to ease overwhelm.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns and relationships that influence current feelings. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - the therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps most.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make attending sessions easier around study or work, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let people join from different locations if travel is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit an online setting and help clients fit therapy into everyday life.
