Victoria Small, BACP

Victoria Small is a counsellor with ten years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She meets people with warmth and respect and focuses on practical steps they can take. She is approachable and aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable.

Her background includes support for stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, as well as those dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy issues. Parenting strains, sleep and eating difficulties, and challenges around ADHD and bipolar are part of her experience too.

Victoria uses a mix of counselling styles to suit each person. Sessions centre on the person's experience and often focus on emotions, present concerns and practical goals. She adapts conversations and plans so they fit each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script.

People who want clear steps alongside emotional support tend to find this approach helpful. Victoria works with people to identify small changes that can make daily life easier. She also pays attention to patterns from early attachment or past hurt that continue to affect current relationships.

Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative process. Victoria asks questions, listens closely and helps set realistic goals. That way the person and counsellor can check progress and adjust the work as needed.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor offers non-judgemental listening and follows the person's pace, which can help when someone needs to be heard and understood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings in close relationships and aims to help people notice and change unhelpful interaction patterns so they can feel more connected and secure. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage worries and reduce reactivity during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss which methods seem most helpful and adapt them to the person's goals and preferences. That choice is made together, with regular check-ins to see what is working and what might need to change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when preferred. Many people find remote sessions let them maintain continuity of care when routines are disrupted, while still working on emotions, relationships and practical goals with a registered professional.
