About Victoria

Victoria Ann Reid is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings nine years of experience and a calm, straightforward manner to conversations about change, loss and identity. Many people come to her with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns.

She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, questions about gender and sexuality, and difficulties with intimacy and self-esteem. Her background in education shapes a practical way of working.

Background and approach

Sessions are plainspoken and focused on what matters to the person in front of her. She does not reduce people to labels and encourages clients to raise any topic they feel is important. Victoria uses a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas.

These help her combine short-term tools for day-to-day coping with deeper reflections about patterns and past experiences. She explains methods clearly and adapts them to each person’s needs. People can expect a warm, patient presence and steady listening.

She aims to make it easier to talk about painful or difficult subjects and to find practical ways to manage them. Conversations move at a pace chosen by the client. Sessions are offered online and in ways that suit different routines.

Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to get started and schedule according to availability.

Ways of working Victoria names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Victoria uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small practical changes. CBT techniques can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with everyday stresses. Mindfulness therapy is offered as simple exercises that bring attention to the present moment and reduce rumination; this can help with stress, sleep problems and emotional overwhelm.

These approaches are discussed collaboratively. Victoria will work with each person to decide which methods feel right, mixing short-term strategies with deeper reflection when needed. The choice of approach is guided by a client's goals, current challenges and personal preferences rather than being fixed in advance.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video calls are good for a conversational style that mirrors in-person work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit quick check-ins or a flexible schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
