About Victoria

Victoria Small is a counsellor with ten years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma and helps them find practical ways to cope. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is anxious about reaching out.

Victoria listens closely and shapes sessions around each person's needs. She uses client-centred conversation to understand what matters most to the individual.

Background and approach

That means the person sets the pace while she offers structure and support. She also draws on trauma-focused work when past hurt is affecting daily life. This helps people make sense of difficult memories and reduce the way those memories interfere with present relationships and routines.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy is part of her approach when relationship patterns and emotional responses are a central concern. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused ideas are used to build small, practical steps forward. These tools help with sleep, eating concerns, anger, and managing day-to-day stressors without overwhelming theory.

Sessions look at what can change now, and what might take more time. Victoria has worked with a wide range of issues including addiction, ADHD, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image and separation. She tailors conversations and plans to each situation, and encourages realistic goals so progress feels doable rather than abstract.

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.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Victoria uses trauma-focused work to help people understand and reduce the impact of painful memories on daily life; this approach looks at how past events affect feelings, relationships and daily routines. She also uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's priorities first, allowing the conversation to follow what matters most while the therapist offers reflection and practical support. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when emotional patterns and close relationships are a focus, helping people identify and shift the ways they react and connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Victoria treats selection as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit the person's goals, needs and comfort. She adapts methods over time rather than sticking rigidly to one way of working, and reviews progress together so adjustments can be made.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging, offering more flexibility for different routines. Video calls suit longer therapeutic conversations and visual connection, phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or hands-free time is needed, and text or live chat can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflections between meetings. These options help make therapy fit around work, caregiving and other daily commitments.
