About Victoria
Victoria Small is a counsellor with ten years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and loss. She also helps with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to ADHD and addiction.
Victoria aims for a warm, respectful approach. She listens carefully and meets people where they are. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation rather than jargon.
Background and approach
She adapts discussions to each person’s needs and pace. In her work she draws on client-centred ways of working that keep the person's goals central. She uses emotionally focused techniques to help people understand and untangle painful patterns in close relationships.
Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are used to build small, achievable changes day to day. Victoria also has experience supporting people with a wide range of additional concerns. These include bereavement, family conflict, body image and eating issues, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and anger or control difficulties.
She will tailor sessions to the specific issue and practical realities the person brings. People who come to her can expect a collaborative style. She will work with each person to agree priorities and a clear way forward.
The emphasis is on manageable change so life becomes easier to cope with between sessions.

How Victoria works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together choose or combine methods that feel useful. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and avoiding travel time. Please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking as the biography does not list them; this helps ensure the chosen way of meeting fits your routine and needs.
