About Victoria
Victoria Small is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns and parenting pressures. She also offers support around trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and issues linked to neurodiversity such as ADHD.
Victoria works in a straightforward, person-focused way. She listens to the practical problems people bring and helps them identify clear next steps. Sessions look at what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating, and small changes that can reduce pressure at home.
Her background includes approaches that centre the client’s experience and focus on emotional processing. She uses client-centred methods to follow what matters to the person, and emotionally-focused techniques to understand relationship and intimacy concerns. Mindfulness-based work is used to build present-moment coping for anxiety and sleep problems.
Victoria also uses solution-focused and trauma-informed methods to help people set goals and manage the impact of past harm. That can mean short-term, goal-driven conversations, or slower work to address traumatic memory and its effects on daily life. She discusses options together and adjusts the plan as needed.
People usually come to Victoria for help with family tensions, parenting strain, or coping with bereavement and major life changes. Her practice is aimed at adults seeking practical support for problems at home and in relationships.
How sessions work
How Victoria uses evidence-based approaches in online work
Victoria draws on client-centred therapy to place the person’s concerns at the heart of sessions. That approach means the therapist listens closely and follows what the client says matters most, helping them set goals and make decisions about next steps.She also uses emotionally-focused therapy to look at relationship patterns and intimacy-related difficulties. EFT-style work helps people name feelings, see how they affect interactions, and try new ways of communicating that can ease tension at home.
Mindfulness therapy is used to build present-moment coping skills for anxiety, sleep problems and stress. Simple attention and breathing practices are taught and practised in session, then applied to daily routines to reduce reactivity and rumination.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria treats that as a collaborative process and will help clients choose methods that suit their goals and preferences. Plans are reviewed and changed if something is not helpful.
