About Victoria
Victoria Small is a counsellor with ten years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers a calm, respectful approach and aims to make the first step easier for worried parents and carers. Victoria listens carefully and adapts conversations to each person’s needs.
She helps people dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy challenges, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and issues around parenting.
Background and approach
Victoria’s practice includes work around ADHD, self-esteem and major life changes. Victoria uses a mix of client-centred methods, emotionally focused ideas and mindfulness practices in sessions. She believes therapy should be practical and tailored, so she builds a plan with each person rather than following a fixed script.
Sessions are framed around the client’s goals and what feels manageable. Her British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration is noted as BACP. That reflects a recognised professional membership in the UK.
Victoria works online using a variety of session types to suit different rhythms of life. People can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge and pacing that respects how much someone can take on. She aims to help clients notice small changes that add up over time.
If you want to explore parenting stress or other concerns, she offers a supportive, down-to-earth route forward.

Approaches used in online therapy and what they offer
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens deeply and helps the person find their own solutions and insights, which can be useful for stress, low mood and parenting concerns.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and how they show up in close relationships. It helps people name and work with feelings that get in the way of connection or coping, and can be useful when relationship patterns or intimacy issues are a concern.
Victoria sees which approach fits as part of the process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then agree a way forward together. That collaborative planning means the method can shift as needs change during therapy.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can suit lower bandwidth or when someone prefers not to be on camera, live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the focus on steady progress rather than rigid session rules.
