Victoria Small, BACP

Victoria Small is a counsellor with ten years of clinical experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses a warm, compassionate style and aims to create a respectful space where people can talk about difficult issues. Victoria focuses on helping people address everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily life.

Her background covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and parenting strains. Victoria works with people managing neurodiversity and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder, and she includes coaching-style support for career and life transitions.

Victoria draws on a mix of talking approaches to shape sessions around each person's needs. She emphasises listening first, then helps people try different ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress. Practical steps, short-term goals and mindfulness skills are used alongside deeper emotional work when needed.

Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) is listed as BACP. Victoria presents information clearly and tailors the pace and content of sessions to suit individual concerns and lifestyle demands.

People who want straightforward, down-to-earth support often find her style helpful. She encourages realistic, gradual change and stays focused on usable strategies that fit everyday life.

How her approach adapts to online work

Victoria blends client-centred therapy, emotionally-focused therapy and mindfulness in a way that suits online discussions. Client-centred therapy means she listens carefully and follows the person's agenda, which helps people feel understood even when meeting remotely. Emotionally-focused therapy helps identify and work with core feelings that affect relationships and intimacy, useful when someone wants to tackle connection or attachment issues. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve daily focus.

Victoria treats finding the right approach as a joint process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try out techniques together and adapt as needed. This collaborative method helps tailor sessions to current problems and day-to-day habits rather than applying a fixed model.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check-in can be scheduled during a lunch break, audio-only sessions use less bandwidth, and remote meetings remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practicalities to help therapy slot into everyday routines while focusing on thoughts, habits and emotional patterns.
