About Victoria

Victoria Small works on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and bereavement using client-centred and trauma-focused approaches. She is a member of the BACP and has ten years of professional experience.

Victoria frames sessions around what each person brings. She listens and responds to practical problems as well as strong emotions. Conversations focus on manageable steps and finding what helps day to day. She uses client-centred methods to help people feel heard and to guide how they want to change.

Her work includes supporting people with depression, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and intimacy-related concerns. She also helps those coping with ADHD, career pressures, anger, and big life changes such as separation or bereavement. Victoria lists additional focuses including attachment issues, caring responsibilities, chronic illness and body image.

Victoria uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at relationship patterns and feelings that come up between people. Trauma-Focused Therapy is part of her approach for those affected by abuse or distressing events. Mindfulness and Solution-Focused techniques are used to develop short-term coping tools and clearer next steps.

Sessions are practical and paced to each person. Victoria aims to identify small, realistic changes and to review progress regularly. She works in English and practises in the United Kingdom as a BACP-registered counsellor.

How Victoria uses her approaches in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and working at the pace chosen by the person. The counsellor reflects what comes up and helps people decide their next steps, which can suit a range of everyday issues from low mood to relationship stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how people respond to strong feelings and to each other. It aims to identify patterns in relationships and to make changes to how emotions are expressed and understood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches practical attention and breathing exercises to manage overwhelming thoughts and to improve sleep and concentration.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss options with each person and agree a way of working based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is reviewed.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not list them here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also allows sessions from a quieter location or during a break at work without needing to travel.
