About Victoria
Victoria Wren is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS and has 23 years of experience. She works with adults on parenting stress, relationship strain, anxiety, grief and a wide range of life problems. Sessions focus on what is happening at home and how daily life is affected.
Victoria listens to each person’s view and helps them talk through difficult feelings. She uses a client-centred approach, so the person sets the pace and decides what to bring to sessions. She aims to help people recognise the changes they want and consider practical steps towards them.
Her background includes an MSc in Practical Skills Therapeutic Education and a Level 4 Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling. She has worked for more than two decades in education settings and has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction and parenting pressures. She is also working towards a PhD with the University of Exeter.
Victoria has supported people facing bereavement, fertility and end-of-life concerns, as well as those coping with chronic illness or cancer in the family. She also works with issues such as attachment, communication problems, control issues and loneliness that often affect household relationships.
In sessions she keeps a steady, calm approach and moves at the client’s speed. People can expect an adult-focused space where the emphasis is on clear listening, practical reflection and helping them find ways to manage the everyday demands of family life.
How sessions work
How Client-Centred therapy translates to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and respecting the client's perspective. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the client says, helps them make sense of feelings and supports them to set the pace. This approach suits issues like anxiety, parenting stress and grief where understanding personal experience is central.Victoria's background in integrative counselling and therapeutic education supports a straightforward, person-led way of working online. She will work with the person to agree how sessions run, checking what helps and what does not. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - the therapist and client try options and adjust them based on needs and goals.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when life is hectic. It can also offer quieter, shorter or camera-off sessions where that helps manage concentration or energy. Registered or accredited professionals can help match session style to practical routines and family demands.
