About Violetta

Violetta Staron is a BACP counsellor with 20 years of clinical practice. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions and grief. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, career questions and questions about sexuality and identity.

Violetta works in a straightforward, respectful way. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what is worrying you now and on small, practical steps that can ease daily living. Her background includes long experience with a wide range of presenting problems. That experience has shaped a flexible style that adapts to each person’s needs and cultural background.

Violetta listens for patterns that keep causing pain and helps people try different ways of responding. Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a person-centred way of relating. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding, reduce unhelpful patterns and improve relationships and functioning.

Work can include short-term problem solving or deeper exploration, depending on what someone wants. Violetta offers sessions in English and Polish and works with adults across many life stages. She practises in the United Kingdom and brings two decades of experience to each conversation.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do

Violetta draws on evidence-based approaches that are easy to use in online sessions. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against everyday evidence, which can reduce anxiety and low mood and help with sleep and worry. Another approach emphasises compassion and self-kindness, helping people manage shame, guilt and harsh self-criticism so they can tolerate difficult emotions more easily.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and try different techniques to see what feels most useful. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to personal needs and pace, whether the aim is short-term coping or deeper change.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you see non-verbal cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when internet bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work when attending in person is difficult.
