About Violetta
Violetta Staron is a BACP counsellor with 20 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship problems. She supports those coping with trauma, grief, addictions, parenting strain and life transitions.

Violetta believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths into the room. She offers a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through patterns that cause pain.
Background and approach
The aim is practical change rather than labels, so people can feel better in day-to-day life and in their relationships. Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques matched to each client. Violetta blends cognitive and compassionate methods with a person-centred stance to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practise new ways of relating, and build self-compassion.
She explains ideas plainly and sets small, realistic steps to try between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and Polish and can include focused short-term work or longer-term therapy depending on need. Violetta has worked with a wide range of life issues over two decades and adapts her style to each person’s pace and aims.
Clients can expect a supportive, down-to-earth counsellor who helps them clarify goals, learn coping tools and make gradual changes. The focus is on practical outcomes such as better sleep, calmer reactions, clearer communication and more confidence in decision-making.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Violetta uses a mix of cognitive methods and compassion-focused ideas alongside a person-centred base. Cognitive methods help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and learn practical strategies for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Compassion-focused ideas build gentler self-talk and reduce shame or self-criticism, which is often helpful for trauma, grief and relationship guilt.Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will check what matters most to the client and agree goals together. They will try methods step by step and adjust the plan if something does not fit the client’s needs or preferences.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and work through exercises in real time, while phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in with less bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can suit people who prefer typing, want regular brief check-ins, or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
