Victoria Wren, BACP, NCPS

Victoria Wren is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy questions, parenting worries, and challenges connected to health and ADHD. Victoria listens without judgement and helps clients name what they want to change. She offers a calm, impartial space and follows a client-centred way of working. That means the conversation is guided by the person in the room and the pace is chosen by them. Victoria draws on more than 23 years of experience in education settings and therapeutic work to help people find practical steps forward. Her background includes a Level 4 Advanced Diploma in Integrative Counselling and a Master of Science in Practical Skills Therapeutic Education. She is also undertaking PhD studies with the University of Exeter and holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Education with Qualified Teacher Status. These roles have shaped her approach to working with a wide age range and complex concerns. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and exploring options that feel doable. Victoria pays attention to attachment patterns, communication problems and life transitions, and offers steady support through grief, fertility and end-of-life questions. She also works with issues such as eating and sleeping difficulties, career strain and compassion fatigue. People remain in charge of what they bring to sessions. Victoria aims to help them recognise priorities and try manageable changes at a pace that suits them.

How client-centred work translates to online support

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens with empathy, reflects what they hear, and follows the concerns that matter most to the person. This approach is helpful for anxiety, depression, grief and many life transitions because it centres the individual's priorities and pace.

Victoria's way of working emphasises steady listening and practical next steps. She collaborates with each person to agree goals and to try small changes between sessions. Deciding which therapeutic methods suit best is a shared process, and she will adapt the approach depending on a client's needs and preferences.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as the biography does not list specific session types. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It can also be useful when quieter surroundings or lower data needs are preferred. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often use online options to keep therapy practical and usable within everyday life.
