Lanre Adeyekun, BACP

Lanre Adeyekun is an integrative therapist who works with adults and young people navigating complex psychological and emotional challenges. She draws on a mix of evidence-based methods - including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), brief solution-focused therapy, and psychodynamic approaches - and combines them with a warm, authentic style to help clients make sense of their experiences.

She has three years of professional experience in counselling and holds a BA (Hons) in Counselling, which is a bachelor-level degree, and an MSc in Psychology of Mental Health & Wellbeing, a master-level qualification. Her professional background also includes over 20 years working in Nursing and Midwifery within the NHS. In addition, she is a Health Trainer and has a postgraduate diploma in Maternal and Child Health. She holds membership with the BACP, the professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Lanre supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, and challenges with self-esteem and confidence. She offers a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space and tailors treatment plans to each person’s unique needs. Taking the first step into therapy can require courage, and Lanre aims to guide clients through that first step with practical support and empathy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lanre uses cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; this approach is often useful for stress, anxiety, and depression because it focuses on practical skills and problem solving. She also integrates psychodynamic ideas that explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships - this can be helpful for understanding attachment, grief, and long-standing emotional themes. In shorter interventions she applies brief solution-focused techniques that concentrate on strengths and achievable goals to create momentum and build confidence.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Lanre works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit. The collaboration helps clients feel involved and supported in choosing approaches that suit them.

Online therapy with Lanre is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make therapy more accessible for people balancing work, family, health, or geographic constraints, while allowing licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care and respond in ways that suit each client's life.
