About Victoria

Victoria Dann is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and anger. Sessions are described simply and directly, with an emphasis on talking through what is happening now and finding manageable ways forward.

Victoria uses a mix of talking approaches rather than a single technique. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and actions, and acceptance and mindfulness approaches to build more tolerance for difficult feelings. Attachment-based work informs how she thinks about relational patterns and intimacy-related issues.

She also supports people dealing with parenting strains, relationship and family problems, fertility and separation, and work-related stress and career questions. Addictions, compassion fatigue and ADHD feature among other areas she helps with. Victoria lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues and communication problems.

In sessions the style is client-centred and conversational. People can expect to describe what is troubling them, try out different ways of responding, and review what does and does not help. Practical tools and short exercises are often used between sessions to build new habits.

Victoria accepts international clients and works in English. Costs vary by location and are managed via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled using the site booking flow.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anger, anxiety and life changes by shifting what matters most in day-to-day choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and to build alternative responses for stress, low mood and relationship tensions.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions. This can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems and feelings of abandonment.

Finding the best fit for a client is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different approaches and agree what to try first, then adjust based on what the client finds useful. This is a collaborative process that draws on the client’s goals and preferences.

Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography did not list specific modes. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a registered professional even if they are based elsewhere in the UK or overseas.
