About Violetta

Violetta Staron works on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and other life changes. She uses an integrative approach and describes herself as combining cognitive-behavioural, solution-focused and compassion-focused techniques with a person-centred baseline. Violetta is a BACP member and has 20 years of experience.

She sees adults and adolescents and helps people who feel low in mood, carry fear or anxiety, or face crises and big changes. Sessions involve talking through current difficulties, identifying patterns that keep problems going, and practising different ways of responding. Practical steps and reflective conversation are used together.

Violetta explains therapeutic work as a process of getting to know yourself better and changing established patterns that reduce life satisfaction. She aims to improve day-to-day comfort at home and at work, and to increase satisfaction in relationships. Work may include setting small goals, testing new behaviours, and learning coping strategies.

Her style brings techniques from Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help with thoughts and actions, while solution-focused ideas aim at concrete change. Compassion-focused elements support managing self-criticism and strong emotions, and the person-centred base keeps the client’s perspective central. Sessions are offered in English and Polish.

Violetta practises in the United Kingdom and has two decades of clinical experience. She holds BACP registration, which is recorded as BACP in her credentials. If you are unsure whether she can help with a specific issue, confirm details before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit your life

Violetta draws on Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; this approach breaks problems down and uses practical exercises to test new ways of coping. She also uses solution-focused techniques that aim at small, concrete changes and quick steps towards goals. Compassion-focused ideas are used to reduce self-criticism and to work with strong emotions in a kinder way.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Violetta will discuss the options with you and agree on methods that match your needs, goals and preferences. This process is collaborative and may change as you progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments during busy weeks. Registered or accredited professionals can use different formats, and Violetta will clarify how she runs sessions when you arrange your first appointment.
