About Victoria
She uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on what matters most to each person. That means listening closely and reflecting back what she hears so clients can make clearer choices. Victoria also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people untangle strong feelings in close relationships and the Gottman Method to address communication patterns that affect partnerships.
Victoria has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, depression and bipolar mood challenges, and those coping with grief or trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, and career concerns.
Additional areas she attends to include body image, attachment issues, isolation and loneliness, social anxiety, and the emotional aftermath of separation and divorce. Victoria aims to help people identify small, practical steps that can reduce overwhelm and improve how they relate to others.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and how to get there, using listening, emotional work, and practical conversation to build steadier ways of coping.
How Victoria's approaches translate to online work
Victoria uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person's own experience and goals. In this approach the therapist mirrors what is said, asks gentle questions, and helps people notice their strengths and choices. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to identify and name strong feelings in relationships and to support new ways of connecting and responding. The Gottman Method informs practical work on communication patterns and conflict that can help partners argue less and listen more.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Victoria will discuss goals and preferences together and recommend which methods to try. That way the plan evolves from what the person needs rather than being fixed in advance. The relationship between client and counsellor is used to test what works and to make adjustments over time.
If you are considering remote sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when days are hectic. It can also let people continue therapy while living in different places, subject to scheduling and any regional arrangements with registered or accredited professionals.
