About Pippa
Pippa Vlietstra is a counsellor who focuses on anxiety and relationship struggles. She is accredited with the NCPS, and she aims to make sessions calm and practical. Pippa uses straightforward language and clear steps so people know what to expect.
Pippa draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred listening so the person’s priorities lead the work. Somatic approaches help when emotions show up in the body, for example with tension or sleep disruption.
Background and approach
Her experience includes supporting people facing stress, trauma and abuse, and problems with addiction and grief. She also helps people cope with life changes, career stress, and relationship difficulties. Eating, body image and intimacy-related concerns are part of her practice too.
Pippa has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS accreditation. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
People who choose Pippa complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit them. She aims to work collaboratively, helping each person set achievable goals and practical next steps.
How Pippa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at the ways early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use discussion to map these patterns and find different ways of relating that feel safer and more effective. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of every session. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the person set their own goals and pace for change. Somatic Therapy focuses on bodily signals such as tension, breath and sleep. In remote work, Pippa guides simple body-awareness exercises and grounding techniques that can be practised between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pippa will discuss what feels most helpful and adjust methods as therapy progresses. That collaborative planning means techniques are chosen to match personal goals, comfort levels and what actually fits into day-to-day life.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let you use visual cues and mirrors in real time, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or want flexible, in-the-moment support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel, and help maintain continuity when life is busy.
