Victoria Small, BACP

Victoria Small brings ten years of counselling experience to her practice in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, compassionate presence and works respectfully with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. Her approach is practical and down to earth, and she aims to help people take small steps that lead to meaningful change.

Victoria supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, and family conflict. She also helps those coping with trauma and abuse, addictive behaviours, eating and sleeping difficulties, and challenges linked to ADHD. Her wider focus includes chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image and ageing concerns.

In sessions Victoria adapts her style to each person. She listens closely and shapes conversations around what matters to the individual. She will work with clients to set clear, realistic goals and review progress together.

Her training is recorded as BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Victoria explains ideas in straightforward language and keeps the work practical so it fits into everyday life.

People who choose her can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through difficult feelings and practical ways to try new coping strategies. She encourages small, manageable steps that help people feel more in control of their day to day lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online possibilities

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding each person from their point of view. It offers a supportive space where the counsellor reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions, which can suit issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in emotional responses and in close relationships. It helps people notice and shift interactions that cause repeated hurt, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs in early meetings and work with the client to choose or combine approaches that feel helpful. This collaborative planning can be revisited as therapy progresses to make sure it still fits the person's situation.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions around work or caring responsibilities. Different formats suit different needs, so confirm which session types are currently offered before booking. Many people find that shorter check-ins, sessions outside standard work hours, or not having to travel are practical benefits that help them stay engaged with the work.
