About Virginia

Virginia Toole is a counsellor who helps people facing grief, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, stress and major life changes. She supports problems such as addictions, intimacy and relationship difficulties, parenting strains, and work or career pressures. She also offers support around identity and LGBT concerns and long-term challenges like bipolar disorder and chronic illness.

Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions aim to create a calm space where people can speak at their own pace and feel heard.

Background and approach

Virginia uses listening, reflection and practical conversations to help clients find manageable steps forward. She draws on client-centred ways of working, narrative techniques and mindfulness to help people make sense of painful experiences. Hypnotherapy and motivational interviewing are also part of her practice when those methods suit a person's goals.

Virginia has six years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers both brief problem-focused work and longer-term counselling, depending on what a person needs. Sessions are available across the United Kingdom and she accepts international clients.

Appointments can include evenings and some Saturdays by arrangement. Therapy is provided through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How counselling approaches and online sessions work together

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping a person lead the pace of their work. It suits people who need a steady, supportive space to understand their feelings and make decisions. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories and rewrite how they see their experiences, which can be useful after loss or trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which combination of methods fits an individual's goals and preferences. That might mean starting with a listening-focused approach and adding mindfulness or motivational techniques later.

Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls let people see body language and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and can fit into a busy day or a quick mood check. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, use these options to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
