About Lanre
Lanre Adeyekun is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional counselling experience. She combines clinical knowledge with a background in nursing and midwifery to support adults who are dealing with strong emotions. Her stated concerns include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem difficulties.
Lanre draws from a range of therapeutic approaches and describes her practice as integrative. She says this means using different evidence-informed methods to respond to what a person brings in each session. In practice she focuses on helping people talk through difficult feelings, understand patterns such as attachment or abandonment fears, and manage reactions like impulsivity or shame.
Her earlier career in nursing and midwifery, and postgraduate study in maternal and child health, inform a practical approach to care. That background also contributes to how she listens for health-related impacts such as chronic pain, illness or disability when these affect mood and daily life. Lanre also notes experience with issues including domestic violence, divorce and separation, and dissociation.
Sessions address both immediate coping and longer-term patterns. She works on communication problems, codependency and control issues alongside grief, forgiveness and guilt and shame. The aim is to help people notice what keeps difficult feelings going and to try different ways of responding.
To begin, clients are invited to use the site's matching process to schedule a first session. The therapist accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Practical therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Lanre describes her practice as integrative and draws on a few evidence-based techniques to suit different needs. Cognitive behaviour focused methods look at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and are useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Brief solution oriented work concentrates on small, practical steps and can help when someone wants fast, focused changes. Psychodynamic-informed ideas pay attention to patterns that repeat across relationships and can be helpful for attachment concerns or long-standing shame.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods fit the persons goals, history and preferences. That collaborative process can change as progress is made or new issues emerge.
The profile does not specify particular session formats, so it is best to confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, health appointments or family life, and can reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-in meetings where needed and for using video or audio depending on what works better for the individual.
