Victoria Small
Warm counsellor who listens and helps people change
About Victoria
Victoria Small is a counsellor with a BACP credential and ten years of practice in the United Kingdom. She takes a warm, respectful approach and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. Victoria speaks English and works with a wide range of life concerns common in adult counselling.
Victoria focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety and low mood. She also helps people cope with grief, trauma and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Background and approach
Practical matters such as sleep, eating concerns, career stress, addictions and parenting strains are part of her caseload. Her method is conversational and person-centred. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs, drawing on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques alongside emotionally-focused and trauma-informed ways of working.
Victoria aims to match techniques to what a person is ready for and comfortable with. In practice she listens closely, helps people name what matters to them and works with them to try small changes that feel achievable. She explains options plainly and checks in about what is helping.
The emphasis is on making steady progress rather than sudden fixes. People often come for help with attachment, control issues, dissociation and complex grief, or for support around chronic illness and caregiving stress. Victoria also has experience supporting those dealing with ADHD, body image and eating-related concerns.
Her style is calm, compassionate and practical.

Sessions & fees
How Victoria’s methods translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience, offering space to talk and be heard without judgement. Online sessions let the counsellor follow your pace and priorities while you describe what matters most and set the agenda.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people recognise and name emotions that drive behaviour and relationship patterns. In remote work this approach is used to slow down difficult moments, notice feelings and practise new ways of responding in everyday life.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through gentle exercises and breathing or awareness practices. These techniques can be taught over video or phone and practised between sessions to manage stress and anxious thinking.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try different techniques and adapt based on your goals and preferences. That shared decision-making helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful for you.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection for in-depth work, phone sessions can fit a shorter break or use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring responsibilities or mobility limits while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
