Victoria Small is a BACP-accredited therapist (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people facing a wide range of difficulties including stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, bereavement and loss, trauma and abuse, living with disabilities, and ADHD in both young people and adults.

Known for a warm and compassionate manner, she approaches each person with respect and sensitivity, aiming to understand their experience rather than judge it. Victoria emphasizes empathy and strives to meet clients where they are, creating a supportive space to explore challenges large and small. Her work also covers areas such as addictions, grief, intimacy and parenting concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and self-esteem issues, and coping with life changes.

Victoria tailors conversations and treatment plans to each individual, combining practical strategies with emotional exploration to help people move forward. She encourages those taking the first step toward therapy, acknowledging the courage involved, and collaborates with clients to identify changes that support healthier, more sustainable lives.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Victoria often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness Therapy in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a non-directive, empathetic stance where the therapist supports the individual's own capacity for growth and self-understanding - this approach can help with depression, self-esteem, and life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within relationships, which is useful for couples work, attachment issues, and intimacy-related concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce reactivity and manage stress, often helping with anxiety, anger, and coping with chronic difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Victoria works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the pace and focus over time so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Victoria is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging, offering flexibility for those balancing work, family, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and access licensed professionals from the comfort of home or another convenient location.
