About Victoria
Victoria Pike is a BACP counsellor with five years of practice. She introduces therapy with a calm, person-centred approach and focuses on developing a trusting connection. Sessions aim to feel supportive and non-judgemental so people can talk openly about what matters to them.
She believes people are the experts in their own lives and looks to build on each person's strengths. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace rather than imposing a set agenda.
Background and approach
This creates space to work through stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. Victoria has particular experience helping people whose lives have been affected by illness, including cancer, and those dealing with maternal anxiety. She has also supported people working or studying in academic settings, and is familiar with the pressures those environments can bring.
Alongside core concerns she addresses body image, chronic pain and illness, caregiver stress, fertility and pregnancy challenges, end-of-life and hospice related matters, sexual assault and abuse, sexuality, communication problems, isolation and multicultural issues. She helps people talk through guilt, shame and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom.
Therapy is presented as a gradual, collaborative process where the therapist listens, reflects and helps people find clearer ways forward. To begin, readers are invited to use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Victoria works online
She also draws on humanistic ideas that aim to help people find meaning and direction. These techniques can be helpful when coping with grief, life purpose questions, or the emotional impact of illness.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will decide which ways of working suit them best. That collaborative planning can change as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to access counselling without travel. Online work can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce time spent commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not specify which formats are offered, confirm current session options with the therapist before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often tailor session length and frequency to match everyday life and responsibilities.
