About Virginia
Virginia Toole, BACP counsellor, helps people struggling with grief, anxiety, stress, addictions and other life changes. She works with people who feel overwhelmed after loss, illness, relationship shifts or major life transitions. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, aimed at making it easier to take the next step when everything feels too much.
She offers a calm, welcoming space where clients can speak openly about pain and confusion. Sessions can be short term or longer term depending on what each person needs. Evening appointments and some Saturdays are available by arrangement.
Virginia draws on client-centred therapy to focus on the person in front of her and help them feel heard. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage stress and hypnotherapy where appropriate to support change in habits or strong emotional responses. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy are part of her toolbox for working through goals and the stories people tell about themselves.
Across six years of practice she has supported people with depression, bipolar tendencies, ADHD, trauma, parenting stress, relationship or intimacy concerns, and men’s wellbeing issues among other challenges. She also works with carers, people facing chronic illness or cancer, and those dealing with ageing and attachment problems.
Sessions are delivered in English and Virginia is open to working with international clients. Her BACP credential is listed as provided. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on the therapist’s availability.
Approaches that suit remote working and reflection
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and feelings, offering space to talk and be listened to without judgement. It helps when someone needs acceptance and clearer personal direction.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and manage overwhelming emotions. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and ongoing worry about life changes.
Hypnotherapy supports accessing deeper focus and imagination to change habits or shift strong emotional responses, and it can be combined with talk work when someone wants a different way to try change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits the client’s goals, preferences and circumstances in a collaborative way.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or caring responsibilities and having appointments without travel. Online work can make it easier to schedule evening or weekend appointments and reduce time spent commuting.
