Victoria Small , BACP

Victoria Small is a UK-based therapist with ten years of clinical experience who works with people facing a wide range of emotional and life challenges. She holds BACP, which indicates membership in the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects her commitment to professional standards in the United Kingdom.

Victoria supports clients dealing with stress and anxiety, depression, grief and bereavement, family and relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, and many day-to-day coping issues such as sleep, eating, parenting, and career concerns. She also offers focused support around ADHD, bipolar disorder, self-esteem, intimacy-related difficulties, and a variety of attachment and commitment issues.

Known for a warm and compassionate manner, Victoria aims to 'walk in your shoes' to better understand each client's experience. She tailors conversation and treatment plans to the individual's needs, drawing on client-centered methods alongside emotionally focused, mindfulness, solution-focused, and trauma-informed techniques to shape a personalised path forward.

Taking the first step toward change can take courage, and Victoria recognises that beginning therapy is an important decision. She works collaboratively with clients to identify practical steps and longer-term goals that support meaningful progress.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Victoria often uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so clients can explore their feelings and values in a supportive environment. This approach can help with a wide range of issues from stress and low mood to relationship concerns.

She also integrates emotionally focused therapy (EFT) techniques to help people and couples identify and shift unhelpful emotional patterns, which can improve connection and reduce conflict. For those affected by traumatic events, she draws on trauma-focused methods to address distressing memories and reactions in a paced, trauma-aware way.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Victoria works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time so the work remains relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and allows therapy to fit into busy lives. These options can increase accessibility for people who prefer remote care or who need more adaptable ways to engage with a therapist.
