Victoria Small, BACP

Victoria Small is a United Kingdom based therapist who brings ten years of professional experience to her work with individuals and families. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and combines warmth, respect, and sensitivity when supporting people through difficult periods. Victoria works with a wide range of concerns including stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, bereavement and loss, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, and issues related to identity and intimacy. She also supports clients with ADHD, eating and sleeping problems, parenting and caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and life transitions such as divorce or changing careers.

Victoria uses a tailored approach to therapy, meeting each person where they are and shaping conversations and treatment plans around individual needs and goals. She describes her style as compassionate and collaborative, prepared to explore complex issues no matter how big or small. Whether the focus is short term coaching to achieve practical change or deeper work on attachment, trauma, or grief, Victoria aims to help people move forward and regain a sense of balance and purpose in their lives.

Taking the first step can take courage, and Victoria acknowledges that choice by offering supportive guidance from the initial contact onward. Her practice emphasizes a respectful, evidence-informed approach that adapts to the unique circumstances of each client.

Approaches Used in Online Therapy and What They Help

Victoria Small draws on tried approaches to tailor online therapy to each person. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and topic of work; it is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and addressing life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with core emotions and patterns in relationships, making it useful for couples work and for resolving attachment and intimacy-related issues. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides structured ways to process traumatic events and their effects, offering practical techniques to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Victoria works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapts methods so therapy feels like a good fit rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging let people access therapy from different locations and schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or mobility challenges while still working with registered professionals who match the client’s therapeutic needs.
