About Lanre
Lanre Adeyekun is a counsellor with three years of professional experience who draws on a range of therapeutic methods. She holds a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Counselling and a Master of Science in Psychology of Mental Health & Wellbeing, and also has a background working in nursing and midwifery in the NHS. Lanre aims to offer warmth, respect and sensitivity in sessions.
She works with adults and young people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, and self-esteem or confidence concerns. She also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment problems, chronic pain or illness, codependency and communication difficulties. Her approach is practical and person-centred, tailored to each person she sees.
In sessions she combines ideas from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, brief solution-focused work, and psychodynamic approaches to help people make sense of how past and present factors affect them. That mix allows for short-term goal work alongside deeper reflection when it is helpful. Lanre explains things plainly and helps people set achievable steps between meetings.
Her earlier career in nursing and midwifery informs a practical, health-aware outlook on emotional distress and long-term conditions. She is also a Health Trainer and holds a postgraduate diploma in Maternal and Child Health. These experiences shape a calm and steady therapeutic manner.
Lanre offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then book sessions according to the therapist's scheduling process.
How therapeutic approaches work in online practice
Lanre integrates a few evidence-based techniques into her work so online sessions can be tailored to immediate needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Brief solution-focused work aims to define clear, short-term goals and build on what already helps the person feel a little better. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at patterns that repeat over time and to understand how past experiences shape current reactions.Finding the right mix is part of the therapeutic process. Lanre collaborates with each person to decide which approaches suit their goals and preferences. She explains options, tries methods in practice, and adjusts the plan as progress and needs become clearer.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations, which can help those living abroad or with mobility limits. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally use a range of approaches to match what works best for each person.
