About me

Hello, I'm Anike.

I'm Anike Olaitan-Omole, Founder and Lead Counsellor of Core Sanctum. I'm an integrative, trauma-informed counsellor and an Individual Member of BACP.

I offer online counselling for adults from diverse backgrounds and walks of life. My work is grounded in person-centred values, with an emphasis on empathy, collaboration, respect and understanding. I work with curiosity and cultural sensitivity, staying attentive to what you need rather than making assumptions.

I recognise that our experiences, culture, identity and relationships all influence how we see ourselves and how we navigate the world. I'm comfortable exploring these with you, and the ways they may be shaping what you're going through, particularly when they feel difficult to talk about or understand.

My counselling practice is informed by many years of working across mental health, community and social care settings. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of people's lives, the challenges we encounter and the many different ways we make sense of what happens to us.

I believe counselling can help us understand ourselves more deeply, work through what may be holding us back, and discover possibilities for growth and change.

Life can be complicated, and you don't need to arrive with all the answers, a clear explanation or a particular goal. Core Sanctum is a confidential, supportive space where we can explore together what brings you to counselling and consider what might be helpful for you. If you're wondering whether counselling could be right for you, you're welcome to get in touch for a free 15-minute introductory call.
