About Victoria

Victoria Small is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She supports people dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, ADHD, trauma and abuse, addictions and anger among other concerns.

Victoria describes straightforward, person-centred work. Sessions focus on listening and helping people talk through what is causing strain. She uses clear, practical conversation rather than jargon, and helps clients identify small, usable steps for day-to-day life.

Her background includes work with bereavement, family conflict and long-term health and disability issues. She also has experience supporting people with eating, sleeping and self-esteem difficulties, and with challenges linked to neurodiversity and attachment. That variety shows up in how she approaches problems - a mix of steady listening and goal-focused planning.

Victoria draws on several therapeutic approaches. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to place the person's experience at the centre of sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs how she addresses relationship and intimacy concerns. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused methods help with stress management and practical changes. Trauma-Focused Therapy is applied when past harm needs careful attention.

People who meet her find a direct, respectful style. Sessions aim to identify patterns, practise new ways of responding, and try out concrete strategies between meetings. To begin, clients choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and book an initial session.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. Online this means the counsellor listens closely and follows the person's lead, helping them name worries and priorities. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at interactions and feelings in close relationships; used online it supports people to notice patterns in how they relate and practise different responses. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity, which can be practised between sessions.

Finding the best approach is part of the process and is worked out together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That collaborative planning may mix listening, skills practice and short action steps to try between meetings.

The exact session formats available are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session is unnecessary. Some people prefer not to be on camera while others find video most helpful; discussing what suits your routine and comfort helps shape how the work proceeds.
