About Victoria
Victoria Small is a counsellor with ten years of practice in the United Kingdom and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She offers a calm, down-to-earth presence and aims to meet people where they are. Her style is warm and compassionate and she focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier.
Victoria helps with stress and anxiety, low mood and grief, and problems tied to trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She also works with issues around relationships, intimacy, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and the challenges of parenting. Other concerns she addresses include ADHD, career strain, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Her sessions are shaped by what each person needs.
She uses client-centred conversation to understand what matters most, and draws on solution-focused ideas to set manageable goals. Mindfulness practices are introduced when helpful to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping. Victoria adapts the pace and content of sessions to suit each person.
She listens for patterns, helps name feelings, and supports practical behaviour changes people can try between meetings. Where trauma is involved she works carefully and at a measured speed. Beginning therapy can feel daunting, and she aims to make the first steps easier.
People are guided through a brief intake so appointments can be organised around their schedule. The work is collaborative and focused on what will make life more manageable.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. In this approach the counsellor follows what matters most to the client and helps them find their own solutions. It suits people who need a steady, validating space to talk through worries.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on feelings and how they shape relationships and personal responses. EFT helps people name and work with their emotions to improve how they connect and respond to stress. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm and help with anxiety and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss different methods and then decide collaboratively which will suit the person's goals, needs and preferences. That shared decision helps shape the pace and focus of sessions.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier around work, family and care responsibilities. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feeling, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into everyday life.
