About Violetta
Violetta Staron is a BACP counsellor with 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions. She supports clients dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction-related issues, parenting strains, and grief. She also works with issues around identity, sexuality and women's health.
Sessions are offered in English and Polish and take place in the United Kingdom. Violetta believes people know their own story and have strengths to build on.
Background and approach
She offers a calm, respectful space and aims to help clients take small practical steps towards change. Conversations focus on clearer thinking, steadier moods and better day-to-day coping rather than jargon or labels. Her practice draws on a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
She uses ideas from Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy and Compassion-Focused approaches within a person-centred frame. That means work often includes spotting unhelpful thinking, trying out different ways of responding, and building self-compassion. Clients can expect straightforward, goal-focused sessions that also make room for exploring emotions and past experiences when that is useful.
Violetta adapts her style to each person, matching pace and focus to what helps most in the moment. She aims to support practical change alongside deeper understanding. Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of people and presenting problems.
Her experience includes helping with career pressures, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting challenges, blended family and communication problems, and recovery from trauma and loss.

How Violetta works online
Finding the best mix is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose approaches that match the client's issues, goals and personal preferences. That means adjusting pace, emphasis and exercises as progress is made and priorities shift.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make some practical exercises simpler to use between sessions and help keep continuity during big life transitions.
