About Victoria

Victoria Nelsen, BACP, has six years' experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationships and trauma and abuse. Her practice also supports those coping with self-esteem issues, depression, addictions, family concerns and life changes, including social anxiety and phobia.

Victoria listens to what is happening now and what has happened before. She helps people notice patterns that might be holding them back. Sessions focus on clear conversation about current difficulties and how they affect day-to-day life.

Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the client's perspective and aims to make it easier to talk about painful thoughts and feelings. She also uses Existential Therapy ideas to look at meaning, values and choices when life feels uncertain.

People can expect straightforward, honest discussion rather than clinical jargon. Victoria pays attention to practical ways to manage stress, panic and avoidance, alongside talking through feelings linked to loss, shame or separation.

She works in English and does not accept international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, readers are asked to use the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's experience and aims to make talking feel more straightforward. It encourages open discussion of thoughts and feelings so people can understand what they want and need. Existential Therapy looks at choices, values and what gives life meaning, and can help when someone feels stuck, lost or overwhelmed by change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try different ways of working and agree what to focus on in sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Some formats also let a person choose whether to use video or audio, which can help on days when being on camera feels difficult.
