Violetta Staron, BACP

Violetta Staron is a BACP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with over 20 years of professional experience working with adults and adolescents across a wide range of life challenges. She draws on a broad clinical background to support people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting concerns, and issues related to identity and sexuality.

Violetta believes that each person is the expert on their own story and that individual strengths are central to meaningful change. She approaches therapy with respect, warmth, and practical focus, helping clients explore patterns that limit wellbeing and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others. Seeking support is framed as a courageous step toward a more satisfying and balanced life, and Violetta aims to empower clients at every stage of that journey.

Her practice is integrative, combining techniques from Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Compassion Focused Therapy, with a person-centred foundation. This flexible blend allows her to tailor interventions to specific needs, whether the goal is symptom relief, improved relationships, clearer decision making, or personal growth.

Based in the United Kingdom and offering therapy in English and Polish, Violetta works collaboratively with clients to identify priorities and create practical, sustainable strategies for change. BACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Integrative Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Violetta uses a flexible, evidence-informed mix of approaches to address the concerns clients bring to online therapy. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood and to build practical coping skills. Compassion Focused Therapy helps people develop self-kindness and emotional regulation, particularly when shame, guilt, or harsh self-criticism are barriers to wellbeing. Person-centred work provides a supportive, non-directive foundation that emphasises listening, empathy, and the client’s own pace of change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Violetta collaborates with clients to explore their goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from home or other convenient locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, multiple ways to communicate, and the ability to continue work even when in-person meetings are not possible, while working with registered professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual needs.
