Victoria Rose, BACP

Victoria Rose is a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist who practices with an integrative, skills-based approach. She blends CBT with compassion-focused techniques and relaxation practices to create practical, tailored strategies that address how thoughts, emotions and behaviours interact. This flexible way of working recognises that each person brings a unique history and perspective, and sessions are designed to meet individuals where they are and move at a comfortable pace.

Victoria understands that seeking support can feel difficult, and she offers a calm, compassionate space intended to foster trust and steadiness while people work through challenging issues. Her aim is to help break cycles of unhelpful thinking and reactivity so that everyday life can feel more manageable and enjoyable again. She draws on creative skills developed during a career in the media and on experience volunteering with a children and young person’s mental health support charity, using those strengths to complement her therapeutic work.

She currently supports adults aged 18 and over with concerns such as depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, communication and boundary-setting difficulties, pregnancy and fertility challenges, self-esteem issues, family and relationship problems, grief and anger. Victoria also has lived experience of ADHD. She is a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), membership number 01002520.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Victoria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to problems such as anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. CBT focuses on practical strategies and skill-building to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she draws on. ACT encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that move a person toward a more meaningful life. This approach can be useful for coping with stress, low mood and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Victoria works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best. She considers a client’s goals, preferences and the issues they bring, and adapts methods so the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for this kind of collaborative work. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility around scheduling, reduce travel time and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. For many people this range of options helps therapy fit into busy lives while still allowing meaningful progress with registered professionals and therapists.
