About Pippa

Pippa Vlietstra is a counsellor who focuses on trauma-informed work and nervous system regulation. She brings a calm, down-to-earth approach and aims to help people manage anxiety, relationship strain and low self-esteem. Pippa holds NCPS and has three years of clinical experience in the UK.

Pippa works with adults aged 18 and over. Sessions prioritise emotional safety and steady pacing so people can talk about difficult experiences without feeling overwhelmed.

Background and approach

She pays attention to how the body holds stress and uses that information to guide conversations and practical exercises. Her sessions are person-centred and built around what each individual needs. That might mean grounding practices, learning ways to calm the nervous system, or looking at patterns in relationships and attachment.

She also supports people facing grief, addiction concerns, eating and sleep difficulties, anger and major life changes. Pippa is used to helping people untangle issues from family of origin, attachment wounds, abandonment fears and codependency. She adapts the pace to the person, using somatic techniques alongside talk-based work when it helps.

Practical steps and clear check-ins are part of how she works. People often come for help with career stress, intimacy concerns, ADHD-related struggles, or after experiences of domestic violence and abuse. Pippa aims to create a steady, supportive space where clients can explore next steps and build skills for coping and connection.

Trauma-aware and attachment-focused support online

Pippa commonly combines Trauma-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her online work. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps identify how past painful events continue to affect day-to-day thoughts, feelings and bodily reactions, and supports people to process those reactions gently. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people shift long-standing ways of relating that cause distress. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Pippa will listen to your concerns, discuss options and check in regularly about what feels most helpful. Together you can try different techniques and agree a pace that suits your goals and tolerance for change. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let you work face to face and practice relational skills. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier for short check-ins. Live chat or messaging can support ongoing reflection between longer sessions and suit people who prefer written communication. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family life and mobility needs.
