About Victoria

Victoria Small is a counsellor with ten years of practice in the United Kingdom and a BACP registration. She greets people with warmth and a straightforward manner. Her way of working is grounded in respect and sensitivity, and she aims to help people take the first steps toward change.

Her background includes supporting people through stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief and bereavement, and trauma and abuse. Victoria works with people dealing with addiction, sleep and eating concerns, and with those adjusting to life changes such as caregiving or chronic illness.

Victoria uses several therapy approaches to match each persons needs. She draws on client-centred methods that keep the persons experience central. Emotion-focused ideas help when relationships and strong feelings are involved. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used where practical coping tools are helpful.

She also offers trauma-informed work for those affected by past abuse or repeated stress. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with simple goals and clear next steps. Victoria adapts the pace so people can feel steady while working through difficult material.

People who come to her can expect a conversational, down-to-earth style. Victoria will help identify priorities and practical strategies that fit day-to-day life. She invites prospective clients to take the first step when they feel ready.

Approaches that shape online care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the persons experience and aims to create space for honest conversation. It helps people who need a listening space to sort thoughts and feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in relationships and in strong emotions, helping people recognise and change the ways they respond to one another or to themselves. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to build awareness and calm, useful for anxiety, stress and sleep difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences before recommending how to proceed. Together they will try options and adjust the plan as needs become clearer.

If you are considering online sessions, check the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises or to have focused, solution-oriented meetings without the need to travel. Confirm which formats are available and schedule times that suit your routine.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
