How Victoria’s approaches work online
Victoria blends trauma-focused therapy with client-centred and emotionally-focused methods. Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past hurt can affect current feelings and reactions and aims to help people reduce distress linked to those memories. Client-centred work puts the person’s priorities first, with the counsellor following the pace and topics the person brings. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people notice patterns in relationships and express feelings more clearly to improve connection and interaction.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Victoria will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they agree which methods to try first and review progress as therapy continues, adjusting the plan to suit changing needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls make it possible to use visual cues and fuller conversation, while phone sessions can suit quieter audio-only check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, mood tracking and when someone prefers typed communication. These options let people fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life without travel.
