Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Victoria's background is humanistic counselling, which focuses on understanding your experience and building a trusting relationship. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk, make sense of feelings and regain motivation.She also uses evidence-based techniques that encourage noticing patterns and trying practical coping strategies. These methods are useful for tackling anxiety, panic attacks and low self-esteem by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. That way the plan fits your needs and changes can be adjusted as you progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles. Video calls allow a face-to-face feel, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging works for shorter updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling into work, family life or when travel is difficult.
