Lanre Adeyekun

Lanre Adeyekun is a counsellor registered with the BACP with three years of professional experience. She holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling and an MSc in the Psychology of Mental Health & Wellbeing. Her background also includes more than 20 years working in nursing and midwifery in the NHS and additional study in maternal and child health.

Lanre works with adults around stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, chronic illness and pain, codependency and communication problems.

Her approach draws from several evidence-based techniques, including cognitive behavioural methods, brief solution-focused work and psychodynamic ideas. In sessions she aims to be direct and practical. Conversations often include identifying unhelpful patterns, testing small changes and reflecting on how past relationships affect present decisions.

Lanre’s clinical background in nursing and health means she is familiar with medical, chronic illness and caregiving contexts. That experience can help when emotional difficulties sit alongside physical health problems or complex care needs.

People who come to her often want help deciding what to do next, breaking cycles of rumination, or coping after loss or disruption. To begin, clients use the site’s short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Lanre commonly draws on cognitive behavioural techniques that help identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. This approach suits people who want practical steps to reduce worry, manage mood swings or change recurring patterns.

She also uses brief solution-focused methods which concentrate on current strengths and small, achievable changes. These sessions often set clear, short-term goals and track what works week to week. Psychodynamic ideas appear too, offering space to consider how earlier relationships influence current choices and reactions.

Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Lanre will work with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences. That discussion usually begins in the first few meetings and can be adjusted as the work progresses.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time for people balancing health or caregiving demands.
