About Victoria
Victoria Small is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has ten years of professional experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people managing ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and major life changes.
Victoria aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. She listens to the problem that brought someone in and helps them try out different ways of handling it. Conversations focus on what a person wants to change next, and on small steps that can make a difference day to day.
Her approach draws on client-centred ideas, emotionally-focused ways of looking at relationships, and mindfulness practice to help calm intense feelings. She also uses solution-focused work to identify practical options and trauma-focused methods when past events are causing ongoing distress. These methods are used together to suit the needs someone brings to sessions.
People meet Victoria to talk through parenting strain, family conflict, issues with self-esteem, or the fallout from bereavement and separation. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, body image worries, control and commitment issues, or the effects of abuse.
Sessions aim to be a place to sort out priorities, practise new responses, and plan manageable next steps. To begin, a person selects the online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then books an initial session.
Approaches used in online sessions
Victoria uses client-centred work that focuses on the person's perspective and priorities, encouraging clearer thinking about what matters and what to try next. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and change how they respond to strong emotions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and stay present when anxiety rises.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss options with each person and together they will decide which methods best match the person’s goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative decision can change as therapy progresses.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in between other commitments. They can also suit people who prefer not to use video for a session, or who need a quieter setting with less bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt the pace and methods to work well in remote sessions.
