Victoria Wren, BACP, NCPS

Victoria Wren offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and self-esteem concerns. She helps people facing addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, and career pressures. She also works with mood conditions such as bipolar and depression, and with life changes like bereavement, midlife shifts and coping with long-term illness.

Victoria uses a calm, compassionate client-centred style. She listens and reflects what she hears so people can make their own decisions about change. The client stays in charge of what is shared, and sessions move at a comfortable pace.

Victoria brings more than 23 years of experience in education and counselling settings. She has an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling at Level 4 and a Master of Science in Practical Skills Therapeutic Education. She also holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Education for secondary teaching and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science.

She is registered with BACP and NCPS and has an Enhanced DBS check. Victoria is also undertaking PhD studies with the University of Exeter, which informs her reflective practice and ongoing learning.

People can expect a gentle, steady approach that focuses on understanding problems from the client’s point of view. Sessions aim to help people spot patterns, make practical changes and build ways of coping that fit their everyday life.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what the person says. The counsellor creates space for the client to explore feelings and make choices about change. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and issues that need time and careful listening.

The therapist treats choosing an approach as a team effort. She will talk with the client about what feels most helpful and adapt how sessions run to suit their goals and preferences. This collaborative planning helps find a way of working that fits the person rather than forcing a method on them.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting conversations around busy schedules and cutting travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular sessions. Online sessions can also make it simpler to have a shorter check-in when time is limited or to avoid being on camera if that helps someone focus. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Registered and accredited professionals and therapists use online work to make support more reachable and flexible for everyday life.
