About Victoria
Victoria Small is a counsellor with ten years of practice in the United Kingdom and a BACP registration. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression and a wide range of life challenges. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth and she aims to make the first steps into therapy easier for anyone feeling unsure.
She uses straightforward conversation to sort out what matters most right now. That may include looking at relationships, grief, trauma, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, or challenges linked to work and career. Victoria also supports people dealing with ADHD, parenting strain and self-esteem struggles.
Sessions are shaped around each person. Victoria adapts her style to suit an individual’s needs and goals instead of following one strict method. Some work focuses on feelings and relationships, while other sessions aim to set clear steps and problem-solving tasks to try between meetings.
Her practice also addresses longer-term or complex concerns such as attachment difficulties, chronic illness and bereavement. She talks things through at a steady pace and helps people decide which next steps feel manageable.
Victoria aims to be practical as well as empathetic. She listens, reflects, and suggests small changes that can make day-to-day life easier. To begin, she encourages people to acknowledge the courage it takes to ask for help and then plan straightforward next steps.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy is about shaping sessions around the person in front of the counsellor. It focuses on listening, reflecting and helping someone find their own answers, which can suit emotional issues like low mood or self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions affect relationships and attachment patterns; it helps people understand and name difficult feelings and then practise new ways of relating. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention exercises and grounding techniques to reduce stress and anxiety and to manage strong emotions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Victoria will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that feel like a good match. That may mean starting with listening and problem clarification, then adding skills or focused emotion work as needed. The plan can change as progress is tracked and new priorities emerge.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also lets people try different ways of working without a long commute, helping therapy sit more easily around work, family and daily life.
